International Woman, you’re lookin’ good to me
International Woman, in your lingerie
When you shake that thing I’m glad we joined the EEC
International Woman, were you sent from above
To come and teach me the international language of love?
Ola, je t’aime, 以後, la la la, a vien
Ah, take me round the world baby, this is a night time raid
Special forces, the Geneva Convention of love
You’re gonna have to put me on trial baby
International Woman, take off that national dress
Ah, where you from babe? Uh uh, don’t tell me – let me guess
I’m a diplomat of love, I need some international congress
Well now you might be from Africa, you might be from Rome
Anywhere that you’re from baby that’s where I’ll call home
I’m a missionary of love on a diplomatic mission
I’m an angel from above, I’m great in any old position
I can do it standing on one leg, like an ostrich,
With my hands tied behind my back, blindfolded
Yeah, all that stuff
International Woman, you’re at the top of my list
You’re so dangerous, you are my most wanted
And I’m imposing an un-zipped fly zone, let’s get with it
Well now you might be from China, Australia or The States,
Walk like an Egyptian in hot pants and roller skates
A Scandinavian beauty stranded on some desert shore
But if you come from England baby I’ve met you before
Oh what do you mean you can’t remember?
You’re breaking my heart baby, you're so cold, so cold
Heat up, hear what I’m sayin’
I’m gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Take my problem to the United Nations
Gonna take my problem to the United Nations
THE UNITED FORNICATION NATION!
Woo, take my round the world baby,
Oh let’s form a coalition of the willing
I’m the Olympic champion, baby1956 – Ooh yeah - Oh that feels good
Well now you might be Brazilian, German or Swiss
With cuckoo clocks and band accounts, precision that don’t miss
A Ruskie spy, a blow-up doll from the Axis of Evil
But that don’t bother me none, ‘cause I’m a Boll Weevil, I can survive anything!
You gotta pick me outta that cotton baby, I’m indestructible, I can go anywhere
You see that thing you got in your hand? That’s the Spear of Destiny
The Entente Cordiale –
International Woman, you’re lookin’ good, International
You’re lookin’ good to me, international
