SEMI 2

<<<20>>>

Maybe I'm not from Eastern Europe

Based on Luxembourg 1981 - C'est peut-etre pas l'Amerique

Maybe I'm not from Eastern Europe
I think a Westerner still can win
I've got a great big pile of money
And a nice mediocre song to sing

They said my money can't buy friends
It turns out that's not strictly true
I've bought a virtuoso
He'll be playing with his kazoo

And I've had a team of lawyers in
We've closely scrutinised the rules
I'm allowed an Olympic swimmer
And an Olympic-sized swimming pool

Maybe I'm not from Eastern Europe
I think a Westerner still can win
I've got a great big pile of money
And a nice mediocre song to sing

I've given Timbaland a call
And found out to my total joy
He can spare me twenty minutes
With the work experience boy

I've sent the diaspora out
To find a place to pitch their tent
And now they're nicely spread out
In all parts of the continent

Maybe I'm not from Eastern Europe
I think a Westerner still can win
I've got a great big pile of money
And a nice mediocre song to sing

(Maybe he's not from Eastern Europe
Maybe the West can still achieve)
I've got a great big pile of money
I know I'll make it - if I just believe
(In m...you.)
