[Verse 1]
          G                          F
You said,   "Do you know that little bar
         C            G        F  C
With the Latin Rhythm King?"
          G                          F
You said,   "Do you know that little bar
           C                  G          F  C
Where they make the great gin slings?"
          G                            F
You said,   "We can walk it's not that far
        C                  G      F  C
And the night will give us wings"


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                   F
  And you were cute, real cute
Eb                   F                            Eb
  You did these sexy things with your down-turned eyes
                   F
And you went deep, real deep
Eb                 F           Eb   F  Eb
  I said, "My God,   the way I feel tonight..."


[Chorus]
Bb                     Eb            F
  All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
Bb                     Eb            F
  All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
Bb                     Gm          Dm     Eb
  All you wanted was a ticket to a tropic zone
F   Eb          F
  I should have known

[Verse 2]

          G                      F
You said,   "Wouldn't it be very hot
      C               G        F  C
If we did this in the sun?"
          G                          F
You said,   "And my cashflow's kinda low
        C              G        F  C
But you know it can be done"
          G                         F
You said,   "I'll supply the loving touch, girl
   C               G        F  C
If you provide the funds"


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                     F
  And you were smooth, too smooth
Eb             F                         Eb
  On the windy street, as you grabbed my hand,
                 F
You said, "Do it right,
Eb                  F        Eb    F   Eb
  Let me handle you   in the warm, wet sand"


[Chorus]
Bb                     Eb            F
  All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
Bb                     Eb            F
  All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
Bb                     Gm          Dm     Eb
  All you wanted was a ticket to a tropic zone

[Bridge]
          G                        F
You said,"London in the winter's a drag,
           C
Don't be a slag
      A
Let's go!"

Eb                         F
  And you were sweet, real sweet
Eb                    F               Eb
  You told the most appealing kind of lies
                        F
And you went deep, real deep
Eb              F        Eb  F  Eb
  But you never   really got inside...
