Single-Bilingual [Video Mix] Lyrics

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
They call this a community
I like to think of it as home
Arriving at the airport
I am going it alone
Ordering a boarding pass
Travelling in business class
This is the name of the game

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
I come to the community from U.K. p.l.c
Arriving at my hotel, there are faxes greeting me
Staying in a junior suite
So there's room to meet and greet
And after work explain how I feel
“Perdóneme, me llamo Neil”

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual
[Interlude: Davide Giovannini, Joseph De Jesus, Lino Rocha & Weston Foster]
Hey!
Hey!

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
In Brussels, Bonn, and Barcelona
I'm in demand and quite at home there
“Adelante!” Through the door
“Un momento, por favor”
This is what I get paid for
(Muchas gracias, señor)

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
I'm a player in the continental game
With unlimited expenses to reclaim
Information's easy
Tapping at my PC
That is the frame of the game

[Choru: Neil Tennants]
I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual
I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual

[Outro: Neil Tennant]
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?
¿Hay una discoteca por aquí?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
