That's all there is to it! And, since I'm just so generous, I'm including
the lyrics, since most of them are missing in the CD booklet.

INTRO & CHORUS:
If you want the big one, you'll have to queue and if you do,
you're gonna get some
If (yeah) you want the big one, you'll have to queue and if
you do, you're gonna get some
This is, this is, this is Cape Connection
This is, this is, this is Cape Connection
VERSE:
Deep south, way down and out, where heads hang fron the trees
Sleepy from the poison, bitten by a snake tracking her so cruelly
She calls my name but she's just one of millions
(CHORUS)
VERSE: (no guitar)
Flowers are for romance, here the fun begins
Pennies for your thoughts and dollars for your sins
Standing to attention, waiting for the call
Brace yourself for leisure, relax and have a ball
(CHORUS)
VERSE:
London Town is traffic hell, it's freezeframe in 3D
Drunken and pedestrian, taken from behind
Welcomes me so willingly
She calls my name - coming, baby, coming
(CHORUS)
