Old Folks - Brazzaville

So far away, so like a dream

A cup of tea with powdered cream

Or comet dust and subway steam

Or 3 kilos of mangosteen

Ayaaah ayaaah mangosteen

An airport lounge in Amsterdam

A summer rainfall in Japan

Your cowboy hat, your lovely tan

With you I’m such a happy man

Ayaaah Ayaaah, a happy man

I hope one day I’m old with you

We’re holding hands like old folks do

With knobby knees and funny shoes

Yeah, that’s the future I would choose

Ayaaah Ayaaah I would choose
