Learn The Language or Leave
By
Robert Lee King
[CHORUS]
Learn the language or leave,
that's what they said to me
Figure it out, or get yourself
out
You've got nothing we need
Tourists are great for the
money they spend
But if you're moving in...
Learn the language or leave
[VERSE]
Hanging out in Mexico, really
had no place to go
My friends left me stranded,
all alone
Found a little cantina on
a dirty side street
Asked a senorita for something
to eat, she just smiled
And said to me
[CHORUS]
Learn the language or leave,
gringo if you please
Figure it out, or get yourself
out
You've got nothing we need
Tourists are great for the
money they spend
But if you're moving in...
Learn the language or leave
[VERSE]
Party time in Bogota, couldn't
read a thing
Hopped a train going the wrong
way, following the rain
Ran out of money, at the border
to Bahrain
When the engineer asked for
tickets, His question made me think
[BRIDGE]
It's the same thing in Paris
or Istanbul
If you don't speak the language,
then you're the fool
They're always glad to see
you, till your money's gone
[CHORUS]
Learn the language or leave,
that's how it should be
Figure it out, or get yourself
out
You've got nothing we need
Tourists are great for the
money they spend
But if you're moving in...
Learn the language or leave
Learn the language or leave
