Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians too?
[Verse 2]
I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this, ha!
[Verse 3]
I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck
Yes, I'm down on my luck
Well, I'm down on my luck
[Verse 4]
Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan
[Verse 5]
All right, send lawyers, guns and money
Uh
[Verse 6]
Send lawyers, guns and money,
Uh
[Verse 7]
Send lawyers, guns and money,
Hey
[Verse 8]
Send lawyers, guns and money,
Ow!
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
