Taking our time before it's through   Passing our days in old shoes   Sister - think I'm returning to peru   Wish that I never came here   They can't pronounce my name here   Everyone asks me "where's peru? "         In peru we've lenghtened the day   In peru we've strenghtened the dollar   There are mountains piercing our skies   And the ocean at our shores   I will save up all of my wages   Even retail crumby cosmetics   I will work my passage in stages   As the winter slips away.         Miles of golden beaches   Excellent wines and features   Mister - take a week off in gay peru   Penitent monks to stare at   Colonial dons in old straw hats   Everyone's there in old peru   Oo-poo-peru
