Gm Dm A7 Dm
Chorus:
GmI'm flying south for the Dmsummer, A7I'm gonna follow the Dmsun,
GmI'm flying south for the Dmsummer now the A7mating season's beDmgun.
In DmSan Tropez I met Selina, now her figure was not very A7nice,
She was so thin the cats had her out on the landing Dmtwice.
When she went down to the beach there, everyone D7stared at Gmher,
And when she wore her topless Dmbathing suit, A7people kept calling her 'Dmsir'. Oh,
Chorus
In DmLisbon I first kissed Maria, it was late on a September A7night,
She was a vision of loveliness in the early morning Dmlight.
I said, "Tell me, where have you been all my life, my Venus D7of the Gmdawn?"
She smiled and said, "Well, for the Dmfirst twenty years I A7wasn't even Dmborn." Oh,
Chorus
Big DmAnnie from Brighton once ordered a steak weighing nine and a quarter A7pound,
The butcher, he said, "Will you take it, ma'am, or shall I send it Dm'round?"
She said, "No, I just wanna look at it 'cause I've been dieting D7like a Gmchump,
And that's what I've lost and I Dmjust wanna see what it A7looks like in one Dmlump." Oh,
Chorus
Oh, Dmone day I saw in Jerona on a river so quiet and reA7mote,
Eight lovely girls from the college, they were all in the same Dmboat.
And as they rode in unison by me, I gallantly D7waved my Gmhat,
And I said with a sigh, "I Dmwish that I could A7stroke a crew just like Dmthat." Oh,
Chorus
With DmRita I stood in a tube train, we were hanging on tight by the A7strap,
When she let her pretty white hanky fall on a sleeping old gentleman's Dmlap.
Now, when he awoke from his slumber he saw everyone D7staring at Gmhim,
And thinking it was his Dmshirt tail he A7slyly tucked it Dmin.
