Jigity-Jig

Dublin, Ireland

--Home again Home again Jiggity Jig, Said the big dog to the wee little pig No more time to dance, no more bones to dig Home again Home again Jiggity Jig -- We've been gone a long time I'd have to say Gone from Ko Tao Caye to Galway Bay and we've met a lot of people along the way Dread-locked sadhus and the occasional Taoist Slick Italiens to a fully armed Maoist We rode on the back of Pachaderms then washed our hands to avoid the germs In Kathmandu we shopped for Kookras In Istanbul we smoked a Hooka Daysha even wore a Kutra Hours and Hours were spent on the trains We took 14 boats and 11 planes We laid on the sands of Andaman Took rickshaw rides at 3 am I know you're asking if we're still tight Yeah we made it we're all right We had our problems an occasional fight, but we always said I love you at the end of the night. So... now it's back to a familiar scene riding the rivers on the Mississippi Queen Why do you do this backbreaking task That's what all the passengers ask For the adventure!!!, For the river!!! that's what we'll say But it's all about the money at the end of the day. So goodbye squat toilets goodbye cheap beer The time has come the time is near To travel by jet but not by lear back to the boat we love so dear Back to the bunk beds back to the crew mess Nights out in Natchez and Oak alley drug tests Getting up early and looking our best (Ma'am can I get you the cheesecake with the orange zest?) For now this is my last group email But don't you cry and don't you wail Cause in writing you personally I will not fail (Unless I die or go to jail) Y'all know me y'all will see There's always another adventure I'm always on a trip But if I don't see you I'll catch you on the flip.
