A Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, rice noodles, herbs and meat
Pho is a popular food, served a la maison et dans la rue
Altho it originates out of Hanoi, it’s loved by all the hoy polloi
Now you can find it in every nook and cranny, buy it from yr local granny
Pho is the national dish
It’s everything you could ever wish for
I don’t care, I just want more
American presidents are crazy bout this food (we’re crazy!)
Bill Clinton ate some at Pho 2000 (he’s a bad guy)
Obama had it with Anthony Bordain (ooooooo ooooooh!)
I’m still pretty sad he’s no longer with us today
Oh ho
I wanna go
and have some
Chat with Hana and Tony
I’m so glad to know them

At Maison Marou
We talked for 2 whole hours
Hana wasn’t so sure
We kinda made her feel outer
Maison Marou
I do love you
If I could do it again
I’d make your dream come true
instrumental
We had a lot to say
about movies, music and shows
If someone felt left out
I’m sorry from my head to my toes
Maison Marou
I do love you
If I could do it again
I’d make your dream come true
instrumental
We saw it on Netflix
Somebody Feed Phil
It piqued our interest
local chocolate farmed from the hills
Maison Marou
I do love you
If I could do it again
I’d make your dream come true
instrumental
Saw some from Dalat
Some here in Saigon
We wanted that a lot
And then we were gone
Maison Marou
I do love you
If I could do it again
I’d make your dream come true

If you’re looking for ceramics, you’re in luck
Authentique’s the place to get them for a buck
Used to use plastic, I guess I’m an adult
Tea while checking out, what cozy ambiance
Authentique, Hana picked you out
Pretty chic, I shouldn’t doubt
Oh oh oh ohhhhh
Gotta admit, I’m warming up to it
Authentique, true to its name
I wanted to skip it, lack of time
Glad we didn’t, still using it today

Peacock in a cage
Traditional Band on stage
Buddha by a pond
Tofu, crab and flan
Under starry night
No roof in sight
After the song, pictures by the pond, it’s the Secret Garden

I’m at the, post ooooooffice
You can find me picking out cards for my friends
They’ve got, so many chooooiiiices
Hana and I circled around and again
Saigon et ses environs
Lignes télégraphiques du Sud Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh looking down on us
You could call this a place a monument of art
Iced coffee at Katinat Cafe
Failed to snag a place at Ivoire Patisserie
It was our last day
We had a lot of fun anyway

Our story starts
Working out at the gym, I
Got a recommend from Tony for a place to visit
It was Dalat
Heard about the coffee shops and
Beautiful scenery, I had to go, I wikipe’d it
Sent a message
To Hana bout this famous place
It’s called the “city of a thousand pines”, I had to see it
Found a lot of hot spots
Coffee shops and restaurants
Seemed like the place for chilly time and what not
instrumental
Every day in Saigon
Looking forward to this next trip
Figured it be a little more like a picnic
Well, we went to Dalat
Took a taxi from the airport
Into the mountains, it was pretty late but still we saw a whole lot
To be honest
Wasn’t what I really expected
Think I’ve been spoiled by japanese transportation
Our new airbnb
Not quite like the one in Saigon
Nice view but it’s missing some of the charming points
instrumental
Dalat
I wanted to like you a lot
But I think I liked you better in my mind
Ooooohhhh, oooohhhh, ooooohhhh, ooooohhhhh
Oh

Meeeeee linh coffee garden
Shruuuuuubs saturated with beans
Me Linh’s the place where it’s at
Looooong sagging branches
Hiiiiiills dotted with rows
It’s why we came to Dalat
instrumental
Rooooooobusta and mokaaaaaa
As faaaaaaar as the eye can seeeeee
We went there by taxi, we thought it’d be a hitch
He promised us he’d wait there, he recommended it
But when he was gone, we played with two big dogs

Coffee and waffles
Hot and fresh right out of the pan
It’s so delicious
Hot coffee on the terrace
Hot and fresh right out of the pot
It warms you up
Warm sun and a cool breeze
Perfect for a photo shoot
It’s so beautiful
A little bit of heaven, it’s Anna’s Coffee House
I wish I could live in this place, even as a mouse
A little bit of sunshine, brought in by the breeze
Saying come in as you please
A little bit of warmth to break the morning cool
Glad to spend this time with Hana, Van and Will
Anna’s Coffee House, happy to meet you,
We’re gonna make it thru this
Anna’s Coffee House, I’d love to stay, but
We’ve gotta get to the next place
Anna’s Coffee House, I’m so thankful
Glad to say hello and pass a little time

The cable car was really scary, you know I’m afraid of heights
And yet I got up the courage to play without a fight
It was totally worth it for the sight
Green fields rolling for miles, I can’t believe we had such good light
Took the Cable car from Robin Hill to truc lam temple
We were a mad rush to take as many photos as possible
You were like a professional, cool calm collected capable
As soon as we got there, we got a tasty desert
Temples are pretty cool, I’m glad to share it with you!
Took the Cable car from Robin Hill to truc lam temple

You asked me if I wanted to make a music video
I was touched and a little guilty, I know it’s your job
But when we got to Tuyen Lake, we knew it had to be
Took only three tries and then we could call it a day
I’m going to the store!
Feels like I’ve been here before
I’m going back for more
I thought I had it all
Looks like I’m going again

La viet coffee
No bad taxi, please
We’ve had fill
La viet coffee
Is the only place to get refilled
La viet coffee
It’s so close, why do you have to hurt our feelings
We only wanted to visit one last place on our checklist
It was our last day in Dalat, but you came to us pissed
Not only did u ruin our night, you made us scared that you’d kill us
I can’t believe we gave u 5 stars on the app, you piece of shit
CHORUS
When finally we made it, we had no more time to enjoy ourselves
But it was lovely, the fresh coffee farmed from local shelves
We got a tour and took some pictures, bought some souvenirs
La viet coffee, we recommend, it’ll make you healed
I wish we’d gone in the first place
It doesnt have to be a race
We just want coffee chilly time, somewhere that we can call home base
La Viet Coffee, we’ll come back, La Viet coffee, we’ll be back
La viet coffee, you’re the best

I feel like going back
Back where there’s nowhere to stay
That bar where we’d been at
Where we met up that first day
Something familiar
To greet the new
We had to pull ourselves
Out of our gloom
Is it the trip that’s hard?
Or is it us that makes it tough
Relationships abroad
Can get pretty rough
Some discussion
To sweeten the taste
But something sour
Can make it all go to waste
instrumental
I’d like to go back
But not to last year
Back to the time
When we thought we each other dear
Happy new year
It might be brighter than today
Happy new year
It could be better than yesterday
Happy new year

Two long flights!
I’m there and back again
I think I might
Not get back home
Just one more bite
Of banh mi and pho
Walking all night
Gotta get back home
instr
Saigon/Dalat
Were full of motorbikes
Not sure what I think of that, but
I guess it’s alright
Beautiful photo shoots
On the terrace
Had a great apartment
Maybe the best part of it
instr
Watched Terrace House, oh oh!
Some tasty beer and snack!
We’ll watch it every night
Before we get back
Snuggled up on the sofa
We’re pretty spoiled like that
Call us homebodies, but
We don’t mind that
instr
vietnam!
I don’t if we match
I’m pretty casual, but
you go hard like that
saigon!
not so many pretty parts
there was delicious food
for that, I’d go back
dalat!
we need a motorbike
very hard to walk around
problems with the map
but I’ll never forget you!
