Orphans

Lyrics

I wanna know when I can go
 Back and get drunk with my friends
 Boom-boom-ka, buba-de-ka
 Boom-boom-ka, buba-de-ka
 Boom-boom-ka, buba-de-ka
 Rosaleem of the Damascene
 Yes, she had eyes like the moon
 Would have been on the silver screen
 But for the missile monsoon
 She went
 Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Indigo up in heaven today
 Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Bombs going boom, bo-bo-boom
 She say
 "I wanna know when I can go
 Back and get drunk with my friends
 I wanna know when I can go
 Back and be young again"
 Baba would go where the flowers grow
 Almond and peach trees in bloom
 And he would know just when and what to sow
 So golden and opportune
 But he went
 Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Tulips the colour of honey today
 It's true, true, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Bombs going boom, bo-bo-boom
 He say
 "Oh, I wanna know when I can go
 Back and get drunk with my friends
 I wanna know when I can go
 Back and be young again" (yeah)
 Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Cherubim, Seraphim, soon
 Come sailing us home by the light of the moon
 Oh, I wanna know when I can go
 Back and get drunk with my friends
 I wanna know when I can go
 Back and feel home again
 Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 I guess we'll be raised on our own then
 Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh
 'Cause I wanna be with you 'til the world ends
 I wanna be with you 'til the whole world ends
 Boom-boom-ka, buba-de-ka
 Boom-boom-ka, buba-de-ka
 Boom-boom-ka, buba-de-ka
 Boom-boom-ka, buba-de-ka
 Boom
