[Chorus:]
Sightseer--he's a sightseer
Sightseer--he's a sightseer
Sightseer--he's a sight--he's a sightseer

He'll never forget the Paris sewers
That's where he lost a pair of binoculars
He's been to London Bridge in Arizona
And he ate a Big Mac in Barcelona
He's seen the Taj Mahal
He's seen the Wailing Wall
He's seen Jesus Christ in the drooling wards
He's seen the world revolve
But he doesn't get involved
For sightseeing is its own reward

[Repeat Chorus]

The place to be is the Riviera
For curvy birds and avis rara
He's sunburned on his arms and neck
And he pays for sex with traveler's checks
He's seen hillbillies clog
He's seen Pavlov's dog
He's seen the Pope screw a lightbulb in the woods
He's seen the Seven Wonders
He's seen the Thinker ponder
He's seen the spot where Custer stood

[Repeat Chorus]

Got a zoom lens on his Japanese camera
Twenty mountain-tops' worth of panorama
In forty-one tongues he can say hello
And he still remembers the Alamo
He's seen the hands of time
Commit most every crime
In the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates
He's seen a mute say "please"
He's seen up the magician's sleeve
He's seen the birthplace of Edgar Cayce

[Repeat Chorus]
