Hitched a hiker 
Up above the border 
She'd spent some time 
In Morocco and Gibraltar 
And stole my wallet 
With a picture of my misses 
With fond remembrance 
Of everything with kisses 
From the Isle of Dogs 
To the Egyptian sands 
Where the Arabs chew on dates 
And I haven't forgot what it's like to be 
With misadventure and her mates 
I miss the East End 
High up on the Khyber 
And I'm the target 
For a dozen rebel snipers 
It's not so bad though 
With some beers in the freezer 
And something fancy 
In the air conditioned sleeper 
In moving carpets 
Through the customs at Dover 
Thinking my journey 
Was going to be over 
Then they discovered 
A shipment of Moroccan 
And said excuse me sir 
There's something you've forgotten
