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
