When teaveling abroad in the continental style
It my belief one must attempt to be discreet
And subsequently bear in mind, your transient position
Allows you a perspective that's unique.

Without fear of contradiction, "Bon voyage" is always hollered
In conjunction with a handkerchief from shore
By a girl (guy for you) who drives a Rambler and furthermore is overly
Concerned that she (he) won't see you anymore.

Trains and planes and boats and busses charachteristically
provoke a common attitude of blue
Unless you have a suitcase and a ticket and a passport
and the cargo that they're carrying is you.

A foreign affair, juxtaposed with a stateside
and domestically approved* romantic fancy
Is particularly attractive, due to circumstances knowing
It will only be parleyed into a memory.

* Please, it's a great melancholy tune. no political comments for just this once, guys.
