Having a Wonderful Time, Wish You Were Her

Lyrics

Booked passage on an ocean liner, went out on the sea Sat at the captain's table, she was seated next to me She brushed my arm discreetly with the pearls around her neck She looked like Rita Hayworth in a low-cut black silk dress We went up to her cabin and laughed the whole night through Over champagne and jet planes and hearts and cars broken in two Having a wonderful time, wish you were her I travelled to the south of France checked into a pink hotel She was standing by the croupier; the dice were in her spell I staked my whole fortune on a hand of Baccarat She moved around behind the bank, and she brought me luck We got into a fast car and sped into the night Watched the sun come up over Saint-Paul-de-Vence Having a wonderful time, wish you were her I set sail for Egypt, the great pyramids Crawled inside the darkness to where the pharaohs lived Walked out into the evening; she was bathing in the Nile She took me to a caravan where she danced around the fire I've never been so happy to be so miserable I tried to forget you, but I can't run fast enough Having a wonderful time, wish you were her Having a wonderful time, wish you were her Wish you were her, wish you were her, wish you were her...
