Les Nouveaux Riches - 10cc

I could see that the sun it was deadly 
She's putting her hand in the fire 
Her velvety skin it was cooking 
Lily white, lily white turning to raspberry 
But when she slips in between the sheets tonight 
the memory will linger and burn 
And when she look at the face in the mirror 
What a terrible sight 
Lily white turning to raspberry 
(When it burns you rub on the lotion 
if it stings you sit in the ocean, oh no) 
Les nouveaux riches, when they 
tres fatigue they fly, off to the sunshine 
they set jet away, they don't 
get a kick, they don't get a buzz man 
they, talk in circles, they not for us oh 
Les nouveaux riches, when they 
tres fatigue they fly, off to the ocean 
they hot foot away, they don't 
get a buzz, they don't get a kick 
man they, talk in circles 
they must be thick, a say tick dem 
a tick tick tick-a 
I could see that the guys were a hassle 
She tried to handle them cool 
But her interbreeding was showing 
tumbling out on the banks of the old 
swimming pool, oh oh oh 
So she buried her fears in a bottle 
the juices beginning to flow 
But her stiff upper lip it was trembling 
tripping her up, her words were beginning to roll 
Hush your mouth, you can't fool the natives 
telegraph, they's going to relay it, oh no 
Les nouveaux riches, when they 
tres fatigue they fly, off to the sunshine 
they set jet away, they don't 
get a kick, they don't get a buzz man 
they, talk in circles, they not for us oh 
Les nouveaux riches, when they 
tres fatigue they fly, off to the ocean 
they hot foot away, they don't 
get a buzz, they don't get a kick 
man they, talk in circles 
they must be thick, a say tick dem 
a tick tick tick-a 
I remember the tears in her eyes 
She tried to hide them away 
But her time it was going too quickly 
Just another few days, she'll soon be flying away 
But her memory will stay here forever 
A time she will never forget 
All the sun and the sand and the water 
Such a beautiful place, she never got her feet wet 
No way, she keeping a cool head 
She got a tan, from under the sun bed, oh no 
Les nouveaux riches, when they 
tres fatigue they fly, off to the sunshine

get a kick, they don't get a buzz man 
they, talk in circles, they not for us oh
