Weekend In France, Italy, England, Amsterdam, Greece… – The Chipmunks (from “The Chipmunk Adventure” soundtrack)

How I love wooden shoes And white tulips Where the glorious windmills abound
[Dave:] “We’re not in Holland, Alvin”
[Alvin:] “Oh!”
And the chime of Big Ben Can be heard around the town Where the guards stand So straight at the palace And the fog is as thick as it gets
[Dave:] “We’re not in England”
[Alvin:] “I knew that”
And the leaning tower Even though it is bent
[Dave:] “Not Italy”
There is nothing as great as Spain
[Dave:] “Nope”
Or dancing at Oktoberfest
[Dave:] “Try again”
My heart soars in Amsterdam
[Dave:] “Uh uh”
And skiing in San Moritz
[Dave:] “Wrong”
As we ride through the desert on camels The sun beating upon our face
[Dave:] “Camels? Do you see any camels, Alvin?!”
And the kangaroos are hopping All around the place
[Dave:] “Kangaroos?”
As the African lions approach us And we barely escape with our lives
[Dave:] “Oh, come on!”
We crawled over the Great Wall of China And woke up in Budapest To our surprise
[Dave:] “Alvin…”
There is nothing as great as Nome
[Dave:] “Alaska?”
Or sailing down the blue Danube
[Dave:] “Oh my gosh”
The royalty of Monaco
[Dave:] “Uh, hold it”
We may never go back home
[Dave:] “Fellows…”
As the snakes sway and dance Out of baskets And the…
[Dave:] “Okay, that’s it you guys, hold it right there. There’s no dancing snakes Or kangaroos or lions approaching. We’re in Greece. Home of the Parthenon, the Acropolis, The Eiffel Tower.”
[Alvin:] “Dave, the Eiffel Tower is in France.”
[Dave:] “I knew that. You guys have got me all mixed up. London, Switzerland, Where are we?”
