I met a shiek from Mozambique 
Who led me to the Congo 
He dreamed to go to Mexico 
To sample a burrito 
 
<Chorus> 
 
My temperature had risen again 
It must have been a hundred and ten 
 
 
Under the oaks I was tellin' some jokes 
And thinkin' I had it made 
Gettin' on with the folks and having some cokes 
Coolin' off in the shade 
 
<Chorus> 
 
My temperature had risen again 
And it must have been a hundred and ten 
 
 
 
I took a boat that couldn't float 
To Rio De Janeiro 
So with my SCUBA i swam to Cuba 
But I'll be gone tomorrow 
 
<Chorus> 
 
My temperature had risen again 
and it must have been a hundred and ten
