When I paint my masterpiece
Oh, the hours I''''ve spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin'''' time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle
I could hardly stand to see ''''em
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels runnin'''' through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

Oh to be back in the land of Coca Cola!
I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin'''' muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy had to be held down by big police Someday,
everything is gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
