Halfway Round The World

Thank you for informing me
That I was banned from Canada
It comes as no suprise to me
Last month it was Africa
Since you've been ambassador
There's trouble at the border
La la la la la la la
Halfway ‘round the world
It's amusing but it makes me wince
Your face is like a scimitar
When accidentally eye to eye
You shoot a look like vinegar
What could I have done to you
To make you act the way you do
La la la la la la la
Halfway ‘round the world
For whatever reason
You would keep me
Halfway ‘round the world
I believe it's like a kind of compliment
I must be quite a girl, "quite a girl"
La la la la la la la
Halfway ‘round the world
Once upon a time you swore you'd love me
‘Til the end of the world
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
I must be quite a girl, "quite a girl..."
La la la la la la la
Halfway ‘round the world
