Found On: Distressed Gentlefolk .. Big Questions
MP3:![[listen to download MP3]](/images/iconMP3.gif)
Oh no, oh me
Shame and sorrow in the library
Venezuela, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay
Chile and El Salvador, Columbia and Ecuador
Panama, Guyana too Nicaragua and Peru
But Bolivia's the one we really rate
'Coz you can eat your dinner by the river plate
Chorus:
South America
Muggers, spiders and parasites
Crawl about the streets
So late at night
Eat it up now, don't be slow
We go where those pygmies go
In and out of the tropical basin
Everything is quite amazing
There are English men and there are Spanish priests
Spiders, snakes and other beasts
In Ecuador, Paraguay, Surinam and Uruguay
Chorus
A message!
South America is getting me down it's a man's life in South America (x2)
If the muggers don't get you then the spiders will (x2)
South America is getting me down it's a man's life in South America
the first song I ever wrote. shows, doesn't it?

I just special ordered a brand spankin' new Vinyl Japan copy of Gentlefolk from my local independent record shop and was dismayed to find that "South America" had fallen off the CD somewhere in transit. What gives?
With or without the burgled track it is still a damn fine record. I don't know how I've managed without it all these years since my cassette copy died.
Now my wife wants to know why I keep answering the phone by saying "Vhat You Vhant"

Great pop tune with all the ells and whistles...despite it eing the Butchers first song! Perhaps my favorite Butcher song...ok top ten!
