COnce again I slip back in the gin and G7settle in
Oh, my bottle and me sail out to sea to Cmeet her again
That El CCafe Khartoum near a quiet lagoon
Where we Fplayed and Fmplayed
Aw, we G7laid in the sun, heard Caribbean drums, drinking CTanqueray
[Chorus]
CTanqueray, take me aFway
You're a G7time machine that I need day by Cday
CTanqueray, take me aFway
Each G7time that I meet her it's sweeter and sweeter
Take me away, TanqueCray
[Verse 2]
CMorning comes, takes me from another night with G7you
So I hurry through what I have to do to get Cback to you
That El CCafe Khartoum near a quiet lagoon
Where we Fplayed and Fmplayed
Aw, we G7laid in the sun, heard Caribbean drums, drinking CTanqueray
[Chorus]
CTanqueray, take me aFway
You're a G7time machine that I need day by Cday
CTanqueray, take me aFway
Each G7time that I meet her it's sweeter and sweeter
Take me away, TanqueCray
Each G7time that I meet her it's sweeter and sweeter
Take me away, TanqueCray
