Chorus:
       D               F              D       D7
We're having a lovely time, wish you were here
       D               F              D       D7
We're having a lovely time, wish you were here

         G
There's miles of frankfurters
     C                     D
and people who hurt us in Germany
             G           D       D7
We haven't played since yesterday
              A                 G
There's just ten more shows and one week to go
     C            D D7
We'd all like to go

Chorus

Great piles of spaghetti,
bad vibes like confetti in Italy
We go by train and not by plane
We'd come home by car if it wasn't too far
To drive home by car

 D           A
Hope you're well at home
 D              A#
Next week I'll try to phone
 E        A
Not very long to go
      E
I'll tell you when
                    A   A# C  C#dim
I'm coming home as soon as I know

Chorus

There's lots of French fries,
disapproving eyes in the U.S.A
We've had no shows since I don't know
There's just one thing wrong,
we've been here too long
The money's all gone

Chorus

There's kangaroos and
we're bad news in Australia
Thrown off the plane for drinking beer
So long on the plane it drove us insane
So long on the plane

Hope you're well at home
Next week I'll try to phone
Not very long to go
I'll tell you when
I'm coming home as soon as I know

Chorus

We've done very well,
but we've been to hell and heaven as well
