I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
I've a pretty senorita waitin' for me down in old Mexico
And if you're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo

Oh my sweet fraulien down in Berlin town makes my heart start to
yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

Oh my sweet fraulien down in Berlin town makes my heart start to
yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man
