Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good

With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes

The sun is shining so I head for the park

With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes



I got a cousin and she got a friend

Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help

At his apartment I knocked on the door

He wouldn't come out until he got paid

Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do

If they find out you know that they'll never let me through



It's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien



Down at the office had to fill out the forms

A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose

Up to the counter to see what they think

They said "It doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink"

Don't trust anybody least not around here, cos



It's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien

An illegal alien, O.K.



Consideration for your fellow man

Wouldn't hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan

Over the border, there lies the promised land



So don't tell anybody what I wanna do

If they find out you know that they'll never let me through



It's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien
