    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

    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
