Spanishish

Hey
You've lost your passporter
Lost in Barcelona
Nowhere to go now
You're a loner
Hey
You don't speak the lingo
Where are you gonna go?
Got no money
No deniro
I hate Spain there's tapas everywhere
What do you mean you don't speak English?
It's an international language
Oh I'll show you mate, I'll show you how it's done
I don't have a passport
And I don't know how to get back home
I don't know why I'm here
Taxi
Take me home (x6)
I want to get out this country
But no one here looks after me
Never again will I go overseas
Get me out
Get me out
Get me outta here
I hate Spain, no one here speaks English
What you talking about? In Spanish
No way, I want some fish and chips bruv
Oi, what you doing?
Oi oi oi, come on, and what about a pint?
