Lyrics
I hopped a jeepney to Butuan City
About 100 inside
The sign up front it said ?Jesus Saves?
So I knew we would be all right
I?ve got some pesos down in my pocket
It?s 50 to the buck
I hope I don?t need my Mastercard
If I do, then we?re gonna be stuck
We?re gonna learn some Cebuano
Dalaigon An Dios
We?re gonna have a Halo Halo
We?re gonna praise the Lord
I took a walk on the Butuan runway
There?s not a plane in sight
But there?s plenty of room to walk your cow
While the little kids fly their kites
They?re gonna roast up a big Lechon
While we wear the heat like a suit
And watch all of the foreigners run and hide
When they start pulling out balut
