[Verse]
G C
Country’s gone crazy - people are blind
G C
forced to buy boxes - when there’s no boxes to find
D
just million dollar lean too’s
C
where’s the contract to sign
Am D G
gotta noose around my neck - but this box is mine
[Chorus]
G C
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
G C
jippee jippee yeah - hope there is no regret
D C
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
Am D G
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
[Verse]
G C
now I am sitting in my box, on Marine Parade
G C
watching 20.000 cars passing by from morning till late
D C
but I don’t really care, cause the view is ok
Am D G
neighbours in his toilet and it’s a beautiful day.
[Chorus]
G C
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
G C
got a million dollar home - and hope it was a good bet
D C
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
Am D G
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
[Verse]
G C
when I come from work, I like to swim in the sea
G C
gotta put my wetsuit on to avoid the poo and the pee
D C
but I don’t really mind, cause when I close my eyes
Am D G
I can dream about a clean blue sea, just like paradise
[Chorus]
G C
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
G C
jippee jippee yeah - but swimming keeps me fit
D C
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
Am D G
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
[Verse]
G C
the rivers and the lakes are looking sadly green
G C
minister says it’s swimmable but I am not that keen
D C
cause all the farmers cows are dumping in the stream
Am D G
and I don’t really want to get sick - if you know what I mean
[Chorus]
So I sing...
G C
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
G C
jippee jippee yeah - and I'm so sick of it
D C
cause everybody says - we are so clean and green
Am D G
welcome to paradise - now you know what I mean.
