^CMy portfolio is high I’m going on vacation
^GAnywhere I ^Cwanna, put it on my card
I could use a little sun, and to see some ancient ruins
The ^Gpyramids^C are calling, off to Egypt I will fly

CHORUS:

^CI go swimming in the big Egyptian river
^GBathing ^Cin the waters of de Nile
The sun is shining down, and everybody’s happy
^GBathing ^Cin the waters of de Nile

^CMy job is so secure and my government is stable
The ^Gweather’s ^Cgetting better, a little warmer every year
And now we’ve got free trade, and everyone will prosper
The ^Glocals here^C are happy, I think I’ll have another beer

^CI thought I heard a bomb, it must be a celebration
If ^Ganything^C was wrong, they’d tell me on TV
Sometimes I am amazed how perfect things are going
I ^Gthink^C I’ll do some shopping, and take a little time for me
