作曲 : Murphy, Twigger, Wehmeyer On a steamer bound for Baltimore I said that’s no fun, I've been there before, So I jumped ship near Singapore With a cook from Mexico. Got me a bowl of shark-fin soup, Ducked into a bar for a couple a scoops. Played some texas-stud with a circus troop and they cleaned me out of dough... cleaned me out of dough. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story No harm, no foul, no crime. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story It’ll get ‘em every time. At dawn they all went back to bed, I went to Borneo instead, Had a hair-of-the dog for my shrunken head, With the sultan of Brunei Had a small bit of a seizure On the way to Micronesia Got a bad case of amnesia I forgot to say goodbye... forgot to say goodbye Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story No harm, no foul, no crime. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story It’ll get ‘em every time. Stopped in Tajikistan on the way to Iran, Took a break in Jamaica to work on my tan, Swam from Cayo Fragoso to Carriacou I climbed Machu Pichu in darkest Peru Had a pint with the pope and played pool with the queen She’s good with a stick if you know what I mean I once had a job riding bulls in Montana I taught Jimi Hendrix the star-spangled banner, I’ve been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau I know how to fly, but I won’t tell you how... been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau I know how to fly, but I won’t tell you how Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story No harm, no foul, no crime. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story It’ll get ‘em every time. Bought an ice cold Coca-cola From a Congolese High-Rollah Got deported from Angola To a castle on the Rhine. Ask anyone that knew me, The Emir of Bahrain sued me, I was in a Blockbuster Movie And I didn’t make a dime. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story No harm, no foul, no crime. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story It’ll get ‘em every time.
