[intro]
Once I had a little monkey, who'd steal all my toys,/
Timbo liked climbing trees with his skinny blue-eyed boy,/
Memories memories pulling me back,/
five or six miles, way up in a jet,/
Far away from home as you can get,/
[v1]
Now I'm eating a sloppy mango on the veranda,/
Coconut coconut tumbling down to the sand,/
My silky shirt poofs in the sultry breeze,/
blowing in off of the deep blue sea,/
A local band playing the blues next door,/
I ain't gonna worry my life anymore,/
Flirting brown eyes, in a purple skirt,/
sashaying by, sandals slapping the dirt,/
[ch]
Back in the Philippines, hey, hey,/
Y'all should come over and see this place,/
Where are you from? Taga sa-an ka?/
Philippines waits for you, whoever you are,/
Fizzling waves, and thundering Spanish guitars,/
[v2]
Jukin and jumpin, bumpin down muddy dirt roads,/
ride in the back of a flashy Jeepney down to the coast,/
hazy and cool in the sea of bamboo,/
bounce thru the barrio de ja vu,/
Snorkling out in the coral again,/
jellyfish stings, we ought to go in,/
Laying around on the crystal sand,/
scurrying crabs as big as your hand,/
[ch]
Back in the Philippines, hey, hey,/
Y'all should come over and see this place,/
Where are you from? Taga sa-an ka?/
Philippines here for you, whoever you are,/
Cascading waves, thundering Spanish guitars,/
[br]
Life in the States, it's groovy, it's great,/
But sometimes it feels like such a frantic race!/
Family starting to grumble,/
All my excuses starting to crumble,/
[ch}
Back in the Philippines, hey, hey,/
Y'all should come over and see this place,/
Where are you from? Taga sa-an ka?/
Philippines just for you, whoever you are,/
Towering waves, thundering Spanish guitars,/
[ch}
Back in the Philippines, hey, hey,/
Y'all come on over and see this place,/
Where are you from? Taga sa-an ka?/
Philippines capture you, whoever you are,/
Fizzling waves, and thundering Spanish guitars,/
