Kawaba, Kawaba, Kawaba, Hey! 

I know a girl, lives off the coast of Spain 

Twenty-one in the prime of her life 

Friends are the most important thing she's got 

And she don't need much to get by 

It's been a long, long time since I felt that way 

Maybe all the way back to high school 

But, lately I've felt like an old fat man 

With her I lie and say "I'm a young fool" 

And we don't really care about much, no 

We don't need to lie (we don't need to lie) 

We got nothing in common that I can see 

We drink on, we drink on, we drink on . . . 

And get by 

Well, she don't care too much for vegetables 

And she hates rude American men 

Questions if I'm balding and I deny 

And she laughs and she laughs with her friends 

Aw but, I don't really care too much, no 

I don't need to lie (I don't need to lie) 

We got nothing in common that I can see 

We drink on, we drink on, we drink on . . . 

And get by (I get by) 

Getting by (getting by) 

We get by (we get by) 

Getting by 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

She don't really care about me, no 

There's no reason to lie (we don't need to lie) 

We got nothing in common and we both agree (getting by) 

To drink on, and drink on, and drink on . . . 

And yeah, we don't really care about much (getting by) 

We don't really care too much (getting by) 

We don't really care about much (getting by) 

We drink on, we drink on, we drink on and get by 

We're getting by
