E D
It was a cold day in London, dark clouds rumbling,
E D E
Grabbed the 'Yellow Pages' under the bed, I noticed an ad, it said,
A G E D
'INDIAN SUMMER, 10 DAYS OF WONDER, PARADISE IS YOURS FOR 50 QUID!'
E
I thought to myself, 'that's it!'
E D E

E D
Told the wife to pack the bag, for-get about the plans we had,
E D E
"We're going east in-stead", she looked at me and shakes her head,
A G
I said, "Oh, now, baby, I know it sounds crazy,
E D
But this may be the only chance we get,
E
We only get one life to live!"
E D E D
Humm, mm, mm-mm, mmm! Humm, mm, mm-mm,mmm! Humm, mmm, mmmm----!
E D E

So we grabbed the kids, and some body lotion,
A G E D
And we went to the middle of the Indian Ocean! | / / / / | / / / / |
E D E
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
E D
Our guide was there to meet us, welcome sign to greet us,
E D E
Ten porters stood up like a wall, carried our bags to the hall,
A G
The custom man smiled to me, begs so politely,
E D
"Tell me, sir, have you any more?"
E
I looked at him, and said, "That's all!"
E D E
Ooo-- ooo,ooo,oo-oo! Ooo--ooo,ooo, oo-oo! Ooooooo---!
E
They drove us to the beach house,
D E D
I said, "Is this all ours?", they nodded & rolled out the bed,
E A G
I turned to my wife & said, "Ooh, now, honey, I guess it's still sunny,
E D E
So let's all go down for a dip, before the sun sets!"
E D E
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
E D
Suddenly I gazed up, u-pon the rising wave,
E D E
I saw the sea drawn from the sand, I grabbed the wife & kids and ran,
A G
"Please, God, save us! Please don't blame us,
E D E
For this is the only life we have, we'll make it up if we were bad!"
A G
The wave was a-pounding, we scrambled up the mountain,
E D E
No one even dared to turn their head, just one slip & you're dead!
E D E

E D
As the waves were dying, a child was crying,
E D
Searching for her Mum and Dad,
E A
A thin dress was all she had, she held us tight,
G E D
We looked far and wide, but nothing there... there was a nothing left!
E
We all broke down and wept!
E D E
Humm, mm, mm-mm, mmm! Humm, mm, mm-mm, mmm! Humm, mmm, mmmm----!
E D E
Humm, mm, mm-mm, mmm! Humm, mm, mm-mm, mmm! Humm, mmm, mmmm----!
E D
Then came the morning, a new year was born,
E D
The girl had been with us all night,
E
My wife looked down at her and sighed,
A G
"Oh, my darling, it's suddenly dawning,
E D
But just take a look at those eyes,
E
She must be para-dise----!"
E D E
She must be para-dise----!
E D E
She must be para-dise----!
