Everywhere, everywhere '
Let me go abroad as I please
Go anywhere, go anywhere

I shall look after myself (for sure)
I’m a survivor

These jewels let me wear all of them
Wear them all, wear them all
Baggy trousers let me wear all of them
Wear them all, wear them all
Stereo let me play all of them
Play them all, play them all

I shall look after myself
