I've Been To Bali Too

Qantas 'Flight 20', Denpasar

Meals and accom', rent-a-car

I've been to Bali, I've been to Bali too

Took a two-week course at a suntan clinic

So lying 'round Legian I wouldn't look anaemic

And you can't impress me, 'cause I've been to Bali too

Got a ride out to Kuta in the back of a truck

Cost me twenty dollars and it wasn't worth a buck

Hustled to a losman down Poppies Lane

By a Javanese guy in a tropical rainstorm

Lock up your daughters, I've been to Bali too

Life is tragic, hanging out at Kuta

If you haven't got a car, a bike or a scooter

Show me the bike shop, I've been to Bali too

Got myself a Honda, had to get away

No brakes, bald tires, five thousand rupes a day

I've been to Bali too

Well, I don't ride a bike much home in Australia

As a motorcycle hero guess I'm a failure

Bemos to the left, trucks to the right

The Honda was a wreck, but I was alright

Hello, mercurochrome, I've been to Bali too

Wired home for money, short of cash

A dose of Bali belly and a tropical rash

Daddy came through, American Express

Bali t-shirts, magic mushrooms

Redgum bootlegs, I've been to Bali too

Took my bag and mozzy coils to Peliatan

It was there where my Bali trip really began

Been there, done that, I've been to Bali too

Tourists from Holland, Britain, and France

Late night puppet shows, Legong dance

Want to see my slides? I've been to Bali too

Well, I wandered off to Ubud, just a little up the track

One week there, didn't want to come back

Listening to Gamelan playing guitar

Jandri's Tacos, Hotel Menara

Two-month visa, I've been to Bali too

Flying kangaroo out of Denpasar

Left me camera in the airport bar

I've been to Bali, I've been to Bali too

Touchdown, touchdown Tullamarine

Sprayed me on the plane so I'd be real clean

Coming through customs, I've been to Bali too

Went through my bags like McCartney in Japan

I didn't have a thing, so I didn't give a damn

You can't trick me 'cause I've been to Bali too

You've been to Paris and you've been to Boston

You've been to Fiji and you've been to London

But you can't impress me, 'cause I've been to Bali too
