Lyrics
To the west of Poland from the old UK
We travelled with our 12 volt PA
For our sins we chose to fly Ryan Air
Thank god that marvellous customs guard was there
Sue liked the booby sticker on my case
She had lovely smile on her face
I asked her if she'd like to hear a tune and she said
"Yes but you are late – so on the way back through"
Sue took us the rock-star super route so we didn't miss the gate
With a wheelchair for our instruments but the aeroplane was late
So while we wait we'll stop and chink a beer
Then we got fleeced by Ryan Air- but now we're here!
Travelling across the land from city to city
Oh my gosh the land it looks so pretty yeah
Playing our songs to anyone who'll listen
Be it raining, cloudy, or the sun is shining
We'll be on our pitch and we'll be smiling
We are smiling
Peddling your wares in such a way on the streets
Is such a lovely formula to meet
Magic creative talented folk from all over the place
It's easy to forget what put's a smile on my face
From spot to spot pass the hat round after every show
To see the passers by smiling is so good for the soul
Every day we got to share in drinking mate tea
And listen to the Spanish lilts which serenaded me
Later on into the night connecting with new friends
No wonder I will play and travel till life's bitter end
On the final Buskerbus show night
Joanna showed off on stage her owl hands delights
It's both sad and happy to be leaving friends
Yet in this kind of life you know it's never quite the end
Cos as we travel round and play the game
You never know in which place that our paths may cross again
When our gear was broke they all pitched in to help us out
And went the extra mile now that's what I'm talking about
And one show we got caught out by a freak thunderstorm
Our audience helped shift our gear into the dry and warm
Reminds me that folk are often generous kind and sweet
The attitude camaraderie performing on the street
So if you have the chance to take your show
To places yet unknown my friend please go
And you'll be
Travelling across the land from city to city
Oh my gosh the land it looks so pretty yeah
Playing our songs to anyone who'll listen
Be it raining, cloudy, or the sun is shining
We'll be on our pitch and we'll be smiling
Yeah
We are smiling
We are smiling
We are smiling
We are smiling
Amigo Hey Hey!
Amigo Hey Hey!
Amigo Hey Hey!
Amigo Hey Hey!
We are smiling
