Intro

Chorus
I'm flying south for the summer, I'm gonna follow the sun,
I'm flying south for the summer now the mating season's begun.

In San Tropez I met Selina, now her figure was not very nice,
She was so thin the cats had her out on the landing twice.
When she went down to the beach there, everyone stared at her,
And when she wore her topless bathing suit, people kept calling her 'sir'. Oh,

[chorus]

In Lisbon I first kissed Maria, it was late on a September night,
She was a vision of loveliness in the early morning light.
I said, "Tell me, where have you been all my life, my Venus of the dawn?"
She smiled and said, "Well, for the first twenty years I wasn't even born." Oh,

[chorus]

Big Annie from Brighton once ordered a steak weighing nine and a quarter pound,
The butcher, he said, "Will you take it, ma'am, or shall I send it 'round?"
She said, "No, I just wanna look at it 'cause I've been dieting like a chump,
And that's what I've lost and I just wanna see what it looks like in one lump." Oh,

[chorus]

Oh, one day I saw in Jerona on a river so quiet and remote,
Eight lovely girls from the college, they were all in the same boat.
And as they rode in unison by me, I gallantly waved my hat,
And I said with a sigh, "I wish that I could stroke a crew just like that." Oh,

[chorus]

With Rita I stood in a tube train, we were hanging on tight by the strap,
When she let her pretty white hanky fall on a sleeping old gentleman's lap.
Now, when he awoke from his slumber he saw everyone staring at him,
And thinking it was his shirt tail he slyly tucked it in.

[chorus]
