Tropicali Lyrics


Graeme Connors Tropicali


Up on the coast
North of the city
There's a nightclub
Right on the beach
You can dance there
To the early hours
Never can tell
Who you might meet
Japanese tourists
With their video cameras
Wealthy Americans
On holidays
Slightly sunburnt
European backpackers
Squeezing the last drop
Out of the day
Well a pretty young bar maid
With an eye to the main chance
Natural rythym, and a keen sense of fun
Invented a new dance
Called the Tropicali
The Lambada and the chicken
All rolled into one
And the Japanese tourists
With a video camera
Wealthy Americans
In bald shorts and thongs
Slightly sunburnt
European backpackers
Dancing Tropicali all night long
Now that old nightclub
North of the city
Has become famous
All over the world
There's a Hollywood movie
About the Tropicali
And the main attraction
Is that clever little girl
And the Japanese tourists
With the video camera
Wealthy Americans
Are getting on down
Slightly sunburnt
European backpackers
Dancing Tropicali in their home town
