I'm gonna take a holiday
Be somewhere far away
I won't be back for a while
For a long long time
I wanna get away from the West
To the place that I like best
And where the nights are long
And the girls are pretty
I'm-a-going to
rock till I drop
around the clock
And never ever gonna stop
Gonna send you a postcard
from Hanoi
I won't be coming back
So beware my baby
I am ten thousand miles away
The Chinese girls
make me happy
It's enough if I tell 'em
I'm not from the USA
And they believe
every word I say
Hanoi rocks every morning
At night I'll fall asleep
to the smell of romance
As I see my geisha girl dance
I'm-a-going to
rock till I drop
around the clock
And never ever gonna stop
Gonna send you a postcard
from Hanoi
I won't be coming back
So beware my baby
Well I am ten thousand miles away
Round and round
the world goes around
I used to believe
I was such a happy guy
Now I've found
my place on Earth
Leavin' for Europe
just can't be worth
Baby baby
won't you take my hand
To aikido garden
Well you understand
Propaganda surrounds us but
Never mind what they say
I ain't going back home
I ain't going back home
Chinese guys make me happy
It's enough if I tell 'em
I'm not from the USA
And they believe
every word I say
There is no holiday
'Cause holiday is every day
And let me tell you the truth
If I leave I'd be a fool
I'm-a-going to
rock till I drop
around the clock
And never ever gonna stop
Gonna send you a postcard
from Hanoi
I won't be coming back
So beware my baby
Well I am ten thousand miles away
