Quotes about tourist, page 3
The Great Conch Train Robbery
'Twas sunset down in old Key West
The locals all were high.
The tourists snapped their photographs
And munched their Key Lime pie.
And meanwhile down at Sloppy Joe's
The drinks were standin' tall
With Buffett on the jukebox
And Hemingway on the wall.
Then up spoke Sam the Shrimper:
He said, 'I've been a shrimper all my life.
My daddy was a shrimper
And my mom's a shrimper's wife.
And I'm tired of bein' a shrimper
Cuz a shrimper's life's too tame
So I'm gonna ride the Conch Train, boys,
And be like Jesse James.
Gonna be like Jesse James, boy...
Gonna be like Jesse James.
Case you didn't hear me the first three times...

Dover To Munich
Farewell, farewell! Before our prow
Leaps in white foam the noisy channel,
A tourist's cap is on my brow,
My legs are cased in tourists' flannel:
Around me gasp the invalids -
(The quantity to-night is fearful) -
I take a brace or so of weeds,
And feel (as yet) extremely cheerful.
The night wears on:- my thirst I quench
With one imperial pint of porter;
Then drop upon a casual bench -
(The bench is short, but I am shorter) -
Place 'neath my head the harve-sac
Which I have stowed my little all in,
And sleep, though moist about the back,
Serenely in an old tarpaulin.

Hypocrites
[Bob Marley]
Dip for diplomatic;
'Yp for hypocratic;
Dry for dry-land tourist;
Tup for Topper Norris!
See de 'ypocrites, them a-galang deh!
See de 'ypocrites, them a-galang deh!
See de 'ypocrites, them a-galang deh! Man, go!

Dem cut - cut - cut against 'em one another;
Cut - cut - cut against 'em one another.
Oh, them teach to love one another;
Oh, them teach to love one another. Man, go!

America
Die story ist jene,
Das wei doch jedermann
Das liegt doch auf der hand
Es war mit bock und roll musik
Nicht immer leicht in diesem land
Was in mir sitzt ist wei gespritzt
(weinschorle, gespritzter)
Das ist mir vllig klar,
Obgleich ich whiskey zech
Seitdem in usa ich war
Dort hrt man falco you are wonderful
Ich hab es langsam satt
Wenn ihr meine records
Trotzdem kaufen wdet,
Wrde es mich nicht stren
Das typische an mir
Ich bin untypisch ganz und gar
Einmal hoch und einmal tief
Einmal ausgeflippt, dann wieder straight
Ihr werdet mich nehmen mssen wie ich bin

Im Not Your Baby
Its a beautiful day today
Everything is going my way
Even the words are doing what I say
Oh babe...got to get away
To be impossible
Isnt that difficult
In the city youre invisible
When you come from a small town
Everything is all right
Everything is all right
Im not your baby...please
A tourist in a traffic jam
Baby sham and handy cam
Im not your mother, youre not my man
Im not your baby
Dont treat me like Im a trick
I wont treat you like youre a prick
Dont need no doctor, Im not ill
Im not your baby
Everything is all right

I'm Not Your Baby (Sky Splitter Dub)
It's a beautiful day today
Everything is going my way
Even the words are doing what I say
Oh babe...got to get away
To be impossible

In the city you're invisible
When you come from a small town
Everything is all right
Everything is all right

A tourist in a traffic jam

I'm not your mother, you're not my man
I'm not your baby
Don't treat me like I'm a trick
I won't treat you like you're a prick
Don't need no doctor, I'm not ill
