This is an extension of George, Mexico And I tell you this, I tell you this It is Aqua Rosa, Aqua Rosa, Aqua Rosa
The holy broke and that hanging Thirties ex-pat is owned on Quality Street
There goes old Ginio There goes that Yorkie There goes old Archibald Yates
Mexico X is the third consonant They love their government in Mexico
Where are Britain's lowest prices?
Trimidine is kicking in And the barbiturates are kicking in He said, "where are Britain's lowest prices?" I don't make rice with screwdrivers Or fried chicken with a trowel Where's the bus depot? Hand me a wrench or such a object In this marvellous empire It is winner of Britain's lowest empire And the lowest prices is Mexico
Clicky shoulders make me wince And twelve year old doctor A fresh-faced physician Gives a note based on lies So I don't have to stand at a door Staring at ug people and mothers
Extramentally drawn Double placard draw
I know it was my Aqua Rosa I know it was my Aqua Rosa I know it was my Aqua Rosa I, I know it was my Aqua Rosa
I know it was Surely again, look in Mexico For an obtuse Yates and a burnt lid Just want a yellow limo I know Maggie would have too strong government to know Got me in the taxi, Mark Always want to mute the infant here He isn't here He promised me I don't make chicken with rice screwdrivers I don't blind people with a trowel With some Bisto Hand me a wrench On a sloppy seat And a vegetable on it

This is an extension of George… Mexico
And I tell you this
I tell you this
–
It is Aqua Rosa
Aqua Rosa
Aqua Rosa
–
The holy broke and that hanging
The thirties ex-pat
is owned on Quality Street
There goes old Ginio
There goes that Yorkie
There goes old Archibald Yates… Mexico
–
X is the third consonant
They love their government in Mexico
Where are Britain’s lowest prices?
–
Trimidine is kicking in
And the barbiturates are kicking in
He said, “where are Britain’s lowest prices?”
I don’t make rice with screwdrivers
Or fry chicken with a trowel
Where’s the bus depot?
Hand me a wrench or such a object
In this marvellous empire
It is winner of Britain’s lowest empire
And the lowest prices is… is Mexico
Clicky shoulders make me wince
And twelve year old doctor
A fresh-faced physician
Gives a note based on lies
So I don’t have to stand at a door
Staring at ug people and mothers
Extramentally drawn
Double placard draw
–
I know it was my Aqua Rosa
I know it was my Aqua Rosa
I know it was my Aqua Rosa
I, I know it was my Aqua Rosa
–
I know it was
Surely again look… in Mexico
For an obtuse Yates and a burnt lid
Just want a yellow limo
I know… Maggie would have… two strong corridors
to know
It’s caught me in the taxi mile
Always want to mute the infant here
He isn’t here
He promised me
I don’t make chicken with rice screwdrivers
I don’t blind people with a trowel
With some Bisto
Hand me a wrench
On a sloppy seat
And a vegetable… on it
