[Verse]
Your friends at work all envy you
because you've seen the world
you've got some news from Athens
and you claim you've kissed a french girl
you tell them that you're half a man
without all new impressions
you need your kicks like they need air
[Chorus]
With C#mpockets full of F#cash and friends
