Copyright © 2005 Jim Ferrie Music
Just imagine where you'd go if you could get away for a day
Week or month so much the better
Hold that thought I've somethin' to say
(Deano vocal)
Just like you I was lost and lonely
Too much pressure had to get away
Took a plane to paradise
Took to the place and decided to stay
Takes no time at all to settle in here
Fell the warmth and smell the sea
Entertainment's not expensive
But bring your cash 'coz nothin' for free
(chorus)
There's a place behind the sand dunes
Bein' discrete's the name of the game
Drink and dance full escort service
No one gonna ask you your name
Ev'ry evening past eleven
Doors are open, quickly they close
Rita and her girls will serve you
Rita's Palace, everyone knows
There's all kinds of cool exotic
Drinks and ladies of the night
Let the samba gently sway you
Take your time coz young is the night
Don't you worry there's no problem
Cops out here are on the take
Keep your Johnson clean and wrapped up
Leave your cash upon the plate
(chorus)
There's a place behind the sand dunes
Bein' discrete's the name of the game
Drink and dance full escort service
No one gonna ask you your name
Ev'ry evening past eleven
Doors are open, quickly they close
Rita and her girls will serve you
Rita's Palace, everyone knows
(bridge)
There's a taxi round the corner
Say the name he knows the way
Don't forget to say I sent you
So I get paid
If you want that something special
Better be prepared to pay
Little extra, something special
Cash is cash man, straight or gay
Rarely you see any trouble but
Trouble's happened in the past
If you're thinkin' makin' trouble
Think again man, watch your ass.
(chorus)
There's a place behind the sand dunes
Bein' discrete's the name of the game
Drink and dance full escort service
No one gonna ask you your name
Ev'ry evening past eleven
Doors are open, quickly they close
Rita and her girls will serve you
Rita's Palace, everyone knows
