Mr Customs Man - The Waterboys

Good morning Mister Customs Man

how do you do today?

I ain’t got much in my bag

but I guess you’re gonna check 'em anyway

You’re always hunting and searching

and looking for something

What it is you will not say

There’s no false bottom in my suitcase

no surprises in my clothes

No bootleg liquor in my bottle

nothing but holes in my coat

but still you’re hunting and searching

and looking for something

What it is God only knows!

I’ve got a woman back in London

treats me like a king

I know three girls down in Dublin

who love to dance and sing

(the only trouble is)

they’re always hunting and searching

and looking for something

they call the real thing

Now I can see Mister Customs Man

you’re a busy cat

and it’s really such a shame

you don’t have time to stop and chat

For all your hunting and searching

well I’ll tell you something…

It’s under my hat!
