Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Fiona said something nice to me

Green velvet jacket sets you free

Lenny beige is performing spinning wheel

Club montepulciano is what you need

Blue hawaii, piccadilly whore

A cocktail is what I'm longing for

Blue hawaii, piccadilly whore

Roger fell asleep in the hall

Fiona said something nice to me

New blue chique suit sets you free

Lenny beige is performing spinning wheel

Club montepulciano is what you need

Blue hawaii, piccadilly whore

A cocktail is what I'm longing for

Blue hawaii, piccadilly whore

Roger fell asleep in the hall
