I know a place that you can stay
Right next door to here is a nice flat
The roommate's gone to Spain
The place is sloppy, it's insane
But the sun shines through big windows
Only Dracula would complain
There's a view and a bottle of gin
She's back in, oh, two or three weeks
Her room would be all yours till then
Here is my address, you see,
it's really quite a mess,
but take them please, my keys
I got an extra set back at the place,
that's just in case you'll need
She had a crazy mixed up flat,
you wasn't thinkin' about that
You know the bed was kinda hard,
prison cot, come yoga mat
Ten thousand paintings everywhere,
she was kind of an acrobat
Oh, you were lucky to find a chair
The sweetest girlfriend where she sat
She had nude photos everywhere
From freaky deaky to plain hearty
Some of her girlfriends showered there
As you can see, Amsterdam's a party
I promise I won't break a thing
Don't promise, you never know
My place ain't all that wonderful,
but I hope you find it comfortable.
The faucets leak, the cupboards bare,
my underwear are everywhere.
But please, take my keys, take my keys
And after so long feeling so alone
I feel like picking up the phone
And calling up that place called home
To say I found a brand new family
Where I can be that thing called me
No more sayin' uncle to Uncle Sam
I'm tellin' L .A. just where I am
Color me Amsterdam, Amsterdam
