Lyrics
One Sunday afternoon up in northern Georgia... I went to the park in my brand new Austin Mini.
I asked out a southern belle… she said no… your competition drives a Lamborghini.

I told her I’m a real good guy… I will always try to treat her right…. 
she said babe I got bills to pay and I know you can't afford me… no not even for a day.

Go away
———
I met up with silvana at piazza umberto… she said benvenuti a vecchia Napoli
e un piacere che ci siamo incontrati qui in bella Italy.
(welcome to old Napoli, it is a pleasure that we are meeting in beautiful Italy)

We ate pizza margherita and she was looking so fine. 
By the end of the night we polished off two bottles of red wine.
she said tu mi sembre comò un bravo ragazzo  cosa fai per lavore?
(You seem like a good guy what do you do for work)
I said to her I was unemployed…  she said amore mio…. Chi non lavore non fa l'amore. (my love if you don’t work you don’t make love)

Arrivederci  (goodbye)
————-
I once met up with a french goddess… at the budah bar in downtown sweet Pari.
She asked me to buy her a drink and she said to me je m’appele Louise Marie. (my name is Louise-Marie)

She said tu es un bel homme… veux-tu m'aimer… 
aimes-tu les filles noires.
(You’re a beautiful man… do you want to love me, do you like black girls)

Then she told me pour un prix…. tu peux m'avoir pendant… si vous n'êtes pas d'accord, c'est au revoir.
(She said for a price you can have me if you don’t agree its goodbye)

au revoir (Goodbye)
———-
On a two weeks vacation down in sunny Cuba… I went dancing at a salsa club in downtown in Havana
A pretty girl walked up to me and asked… te gusta chica cubana.
(Do you like cuban girls)

She handed me a cigar… I thought I was gonna get far.
she said es un regalo para ti mi amigo. (Its a gift for you)
She said ven a mi casa quiero hacer l’amor contigo.
(Come to my house I want to make love with you)

it didn’t take to long… I figured out… this young lady was practising in the sex trade.

She said don’t look down on me…. I got to feed the family….  you know I graduated as a magistrate.

I know you got a lot
I need some of what you got
Make no mistake
Life is give and take.

Make no mistake
Life is give and take.

Make no mistake
Life is give and take.

Quirky! Reminds me of the old KROQ FM here in So Cal back in the late 70's/80's. I like the beat!
