Identify the song
on: June 21, 2006, 06:47:12 PM
For reasons which i will not bore you with, i need to know the name of the song which includes the following lyrics.

"I went through the 2nd door and found myself in Africa"

Not a lot to go on, but if anyone can help, i would be much obliged.

Can't really help here, old boy, but I imagine that it might have been written by someone of suspect national origin who had once fallen foul of Customs in Gibraltar - or maybe even Palermo; I hope that this might at least provide some kind of clue...

Best,
