They built it Overseas
He told his friend
As I sat at my table
Listening in
I don't know what they built
Or who "they" were
Don't even know where
Overseas is

Overseas
Heard it all my life
I'm divorced
Or I'd ask my wife
Belgium, Bosnia
Hong Kong, Cyprus
Britain, Borneo
Spain, Mauritius

They sent me Overseas
The lieutenant said
I couldn't see any point
Questioning him
He kept his secret
Maybe combat
Still don't have a clue
Where that place is at

Overseas
Heard it all my life
I'm divorced
Or I'd ask my wife
Macau, New Guinea
Madagascar, Bali
Malta, Mongolia
Luxembourg, Mali

bridge:
I've looked on the map
Can't find "Overseas"
It must be somewhere
East of Eden

guitar

Overseas
Heard it all my life
I'm divorced
Or I'd ask my wife
France, Kosovo
Germany, Ecuador
Chad, I don't know
El Salvador

Cambodia, India
Fiji, Poland
Shangri-La, Kenya
Egypt, Iceland
