I really love you baby
When I need a laugh
I check out passport photos
They're what give me that
Look at yours and your friends
See if you agree
Passport photos always
Do the biz for me
Show me one that you've got
You'd like to see enlarged
Show me one that doesn't
Look like your being charged
Smile of course you mustn't
That's the only rule
Irony of course is
You just look a fool
Sideburns down to your chin
Hair all long and straight
No doubt when you took it
You thought you looked great
Ain't nobody living
That's ever had one that
Ever did them justice
That just isn't a gaffe
For the life of me I don't
Understand why in Spain
When it rains at an airport
Mainly wet is the plane
I really love you baby
When I need a laugh
I check out passport photos
They're what give me that
Go through immigration
Waiting next in line
A man there can't believe it
When he looks at mine
Show me one that you've got
You'd like to see enlarged
Show me one that doesn't
Look like your being charged
Here's looking at you kid
Looking like you're from the twilight zone
I really love your body
When I need a laugh
I check out passport photos
They're what give me that
They're what give me that
