Mekong
Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers

Barkeep
Another Mekong please
Yes of course, you can keep the change
A new glass here for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I forgot your name

Flip a coin
What shall we talk about
Heads I tell the truth
Tails I lie

I came all the way
From Taipei today
Now Bangkok's pouring rain
and I'm going blind again
And I haven’t seen my girl
For fifteen thousand miles

But is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
And as cliché as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottle’s empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Barkeep
We need to go around again
One for me and what's his name
My new best friend
So deal me in
And I'll pick my cards up off the floor
I'll see a lucky coin
And raise a pack of lies

Smile to the girl at the door
Another four-dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes
She'll break your heart

We came all the way
From Taipei today
Still Bangkok's pissin' rain
And we're going blind again
And I haven’t seen my girl
For fifteen thousand miles

Is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliché as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottle’s empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Well is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliché as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottle’s empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

As cliché as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottle’s empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life
