Gaelic Storm - Don't Let The Truth Get In The Way (Of A Good Story) lyrics

On a steamer bound for Baltimore I said that's no fun, i've been there before So I jumped ship in Singapore With a cook from Mexico Got a bowl of shark-fin soup Ducked into a bar for a couple a scoops Played some texas-stud with a circus troop And they cleaned me out of dough At dawn they all went back to bed I went to Borneo instead Had a hair-of-the dog for my shrunken head With the sultan of Brunei Had a small bit of a seizure On the way to Micronesia Got a bad case of amnesia And forgot to say goodbye Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story No harm no foul no crime Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story It'll get ‘em every time Stopped in Tajikistan on the way to Iran Took a break in Jamaica to work on my tan Swam from Cayo Fragoso to Carriacou I climbed Machu Pichu in Darkest Peru Had a pint with the pope and played pool with the queen Who swam circles round a synchronized swimming team I once had a job riding bulls in Montana I taught Jimi Hendrix the star-spangled banner I've been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau I know how to fly, but I won't tell you how Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story No harm no foul no crime Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story It'll get ‘em every time Bought an ice cold c**a-cola From a Congolese High-Rollah Got deported from Angola To a castle on the Rhine Ask anyone that knew me The Emir of Bahrain sued me I was in a Blockbuster Movie And I didn't make a dime Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story No harm no foul no crime Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story It'll get ‘em every time
