Surinam – AY
Tune: YMCA (Village People)

TANIA, tell me what is that food
I said TANIA, tell me what is that food
I said CLAUDIA, now you need to translate
As we wander through the market

WINSTON, I think this boat has a leak
I said WINSTON, I know this boat has a leak
I said Claudia, now you need to translate
As we’re floating down the river

DUN DUN DUN DA

Chorus
We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay
We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay

You can get a good meal, you can see lots of birds,
You can travel too long in a small boat

We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay
We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay

PEOPLE, I think we’re going to be late
I said PEOPLE, you don’t want to be late
I said CLAUDIA now you need to translate
As we’re bumping down the rough road

MARIO, can you take a photo
I said MARIO, now please take a photo
I said not NOT NOW, because no one has clothes
As we’re slipping down to the falls

DUN DUN DUN DA

We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay
We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay

You can get a good meal, you can see lots of birds,
You can travel too long in a small boat

We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay
We’re going to travel to Surinam-ay

REGGIE, I think we have a problem
I said REGGIE, something else has gone wrong
He said NO WAY there are no problems
There is always a sol-u-tion

CLAUDIA we are missing some guests
I said CLAUDIA we are missing more guests
I said CLAUDIA, how many days have we left
Before no one is left standing

DUN DUN DUN DA

Chorus
