Hey
I don't really travel that much, it's true (hey)
But right now I'm here at Europe's boo-oot (hey)
But it's crazy, kinda nonsense
Why's this place intentionally (hey) so flooded

To me it looks really nuts
But I'm just a tourist
I didn't research the place
'Fore I hopped in the jet
Apologise for my comments
I mean no disrespect
Not your fault I don't get it
This place called Venice

Smell of salt is powerful
Messin' with my sense of taste
That's ri-ight (that's ri-ight)
I don't get Venice
Guess the view is wonderful
If you're livin' in this place
That's fi-ine (that's fi-ine)
I don't get Venice

Such an odd system, I can't work i-it ou-ou-out (hey)
Why not fill all these rivers in with concre-ete (hey)?
Good thing I don't get seasick, yeah-eah (hey)
But I just can't comprehend it, he-ey

Well, I mean, wouldn't the salt
Cause so much erosion?
And then the whole friggin' place
Would drop in the ocean
I'd ask if anyone's bothered
By that turn of events
But I don't know the language
Still don't get Venice

Maybe I'm too cynical
But I see doom for this place
Not ri-ight (not ri-ight)
I don't get Venice
Still hope that that's fixable
At least for the locals' sake
That's ri-ight (that's ri-ight)
I don't get Venice

Let's be clear here: I don't mind it
Though if I-I sto-opped go-o-oin' sploo-oosh
Fallin' i-i-in, I'd be delighted, yeah-eah-eah
No anti-Venice douche

Is the speed limit in knots?
Do they have any pricks
Who speed through makin' a wave
Gettin' ev'ryone drenched?
So many things to discover
Check some things off my list
Hope you-ou don't mind my questions
Want to get Veni-ice

Are the buildings movable? (a-are the-ey?)
Or are they fixed in one place
And why-y (and why-y, just why-y-y-y)?
I might get Venice (hope to get)
City most unusual (confusin')
In my books, that means it's great
That's ri-ight (that's ri-ight, quite right)
I do like Venice

Oh, that's ri-i-ight
I quite like Venice
Oh, that's ri-i-ight
Really like Venice
