I’ll take you to the Philippines (Whoa)
I’ll take you to the Philippines (Hey)
I’ll take you to the Philippines
(Take it back, Take it back, Take it back)
(We can go there… We can go there)
Jump on a plane, pro’ly jump on a train
Just you and me yeah just you and me
I can take you where I come from right
Where the water’s so warm with the sunlight
Shine all day, Really shine all night
Ma I like you, Yeah I like you
She shine al day all night too
I could be your boyfriend, I could wife you
Let me take you to the place where I come from
Take you to my hometown cause i wantcha
Where it rains all day no thunda
Let me take to my land Pampanga
I’ll take you to the Philippines
I’ll take you to the Philippines
I’ll take you to the Philippines
(Take it back, Take it back, Take it back)
(We can go there… We can go there)
From the hut to the villa
We can get illa’, In Manila
Straight to the island
Water so warm, You can just dive in
Take you all the places I’ve been
Jeepney roller, You can just ride in
Everybody’s workin’, They survivin’
They want peace, No more fightin’
Wanna see the world
Don’t be surprised when…
I’ll take you to the Philippines I’ll take you to the Philippines
I’ll take you to the Philippines
(Take it back, Take it back, Take it back)
(We can go there… We can go there)
