PORT AU PRINCE
written by Bernie Wayne & Joe Cabot.
(Caterina Valente)

Look at the world around you and you’ll see it’s an awful mess
Living’s getting higher and your bankroll is getting less
I’ve got a great solution that’ll lead you to happiness
Come on and join me down in Port au Prince

You run around so busy and you don’t even know what for
Civilisation’s got you caught you in a revolving door
I’ve got a tip just take a trip and smile at the sun once more
Come on and join me down in Port au Prince

You’ll thrill to all the magic of a tropic night
You’ll feel the magic when he holds you tight
While blazing stars ignite the sky

You’ll dance to pulsing rhythms of the voodoo drum
And all at once you’ll know that love has come
And it will never say Good Bye

Well, if you’re not convinced by now, then brother I rest my case
oh, but you’re going to love it when you get to that lovely place
You’ll see the way they live there is too good for the human race
Come on and join me down in Port au Prince
