Beautiful World

My my my, It's a beautiful world I like swimming in the sea I like to go out beyond the white breakers Where a man can still be free, Or a woman if you are one I like swimming in the sea My my my, It's a beautiful world I like drinking Irish Tea With a little bit of lap sang souchong I like making my own Tea My my my, It's a beautiful world I like driving in my car Roll the top down, Sometimes I travel quite far Drive to the ocean Stare up at the stars All around is anger, automatic guns Death in large numbers, no respect for woman, or our little ones I tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold Said he'd been swamped by calls this week And He could not shake his cold And still this emptiness persists Perhaps this is as good as it gets When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes Now I leave the party early at least with no regrets I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets Yeah this is as good as it gets My my my, It's a beautiful world I like sleeping with Marie She is one s*xy girl full of mystery She says she doesn't love me, but she likes my company For now that's good enough for me --- Beautiful World - Colin Hay
