House of the Rising Sun Parody Lyrics
There is a place in Thailand
They call the “City of Sin”
And it's been the ruin of many a sex-pat
And God, I know, I’ve seen
My girlfriend was a bargirl
She swore she’d never been
But she plied her trade in many a bar
Down in Soi 16
Now the only thing a sex-pat needs
Is a barstool and a Chang
And cash to pay the barfine
To the Mama-san
Oh mother tell your children
Not to be what I have been
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the bars on Soi 16
Well, I got one foot on the airbridge
The other foot on the plane
I'm goin' back to Pattaya
To trawl the bars again
Well, my pockets now are empty
From the things I’ve seen and done
And it's been the ruin of this poor boy
But God, It’s been such fun!
