As I sit by the pool of my best friends house,   My mind will wander   What the hell, am I still doing here   When I Could be yonder   Overseas in a reggae paradise   That would be nice      Under the shade of a swaying palm tree   Just seems so god damned perfect to me   Just to escape, to elope or to break free   Somewhere far away, far from Canberra preferably      Going Abroad, for a while      I'll miss the band and the girl I left behind   I hope you guys don't mind   Thought I was happy where I was   And I still am, don't ask me why it's just because      Going Abroad, for a while   Going Abroad, for a little while      Coconuts and novelty cups with umbrella's on the tops   I like them lots   No need for worries, no need to shout   I say what if, the Hokey Pokey's what its all about   Have I been wastin' my time, all of these years,   Wanting girls that I cannot get and, buying them beers?   To no avail, I always fail I say oh no,   I need to get out of here, for a while...
