Fifty Dollar Love Affair

Oh the romance of these harbour towns

Lights that shimmer on canals

And in the bottom of your glass

The air buzzing with foreign tongues

And the occasional cries

Of sailors, tramps and rock 'n' rollers . . .

(hey babe you look so hot tonight

Hey come over here i'll treat you right)

'cause . . .



A man's a man all right

Just like any other man

He'll search the town tonight

For a fifty dollar love affair



And another taste of cheap delight

Street food sizzling outside

Washed down with the local poison

These back alleys with their pinkish lights

And the occasional cries

Of smugglers, bums and credit card holders . . .

(hey babe i feel so good tonight

I got shore leave and i sure ain't leavin' here till i prove that . . .)



A man's a man all right

Just like any other man

He'll search the town tonight

For a fifty dollar love affair
