I travelled through the world today
Went to places far away
I drank tea in Katmandu
If you like, you can do it too
From the grass of Amsterdam
To the jungles of Vietnam
They may say, it’s in my head
I stay inside, just like they said
Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
Ride with gauchos though the Pampas
Play the pipes in your pink pajamas
Feel the breeze brush through my hair
As I ride on in my chair
Crash waves on the Cocacabana
Pick fruit in the cool Bahamas
All these things, I have to do
From the cell that’s my front room
Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
Throw money in the Trevi Fountain
Scream and shout on Thunder Mountain
A wild ride or a roll in the hay
A goat curry on Montego Bay
London, Paris, Istanbul
Dacca, Dehli ,Timbuktu
Sydney, Hong Kong
Places new
Staying home is the thing to do
Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
New York London Paris Munich
No-one’s playing
Pop music
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
