You better top up your suntan
Otherwise your skin is gonna turn to leather
ย
We'll make a movie in Vietnam
The tax break necessitates we're gonna shoot on location
The rug says "Made in Korea"
Manufactured in a factory using cheap labor
And all over Asia
The third world becoming a major league player
Mass production in Saigon
While all the workers laid off in Cleveland
Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan
With empty factories in Birmingham
Now it's baby boomers in Hong Kong
And cowboys in Vietnam making their movies
Big confusion in Hollywood
Now it's American baseball hats in Taiwan
Hamburger in China
Sushi bars in Leyland, Boston
The dollar sign said "Expand"
Now it's cowboys in Vietnam making their movies
Wake up in the White House
Zip up your pants and get it together
Take a look at your overseas neighbor
Look at their strange behavior
ย
Take a look at your wigwam
Easy riders talking as if they're Asian
Once it was only in movies
Now it's a product invasion
Mass production in Saigon
While all the workers laid off in Cleveland
Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan
With empty factories in Uncle Sam
Now it's sweatshops in Hong Kong
Dressing cowboys in Vietnam
Big confusion in Hollywood
Now it's karate kids in Toledo and Michigan
Hamburger in China
Sushi bars in Leyland, Boston
The dollar sign said "Expand"
Now it's cowboys in Vietnam making their movies
Watch out
Ride off with the debts into the sunset
