the natives are getting restless in the tropical heat   work in scarce and children play while the dogs fight in the street   and in the hotels all the tourists dine on local fare   while the waiters stand and stare   and in the street taxi cabs crawl around for voice   to the sound of the tourist in the casino   rattling the dice   MONEY MONEY      I'm just another tourist checking out the slums   with my plastic Visa drinking with my chums   I dance and swing while ABBA sing   and I flash my platinum   to the sound of Livin-La-Vida-Loca   yes Livin-La-Vida-Loca      while in the heat of the street   the native beats his drum   take the money 'cos it's just another tourist   having lots of fun      oh let's go to the Mardi Gras   oh let's kiss the Blarney Stone   oh let's hear the Wailing Wall   oh the Empire State is so very tall   and the Taj Mahal really has a pretty dome   and everwhere that I go I say   I want to make it my home      I'm just another another tourist checking out the slums   with my plastic Visa drinking with my chums   MONEY MONEY
