Take the mince out of my step and hold my tongue and shoot me down If that takes my time and money, still don't see how I lose out Looking at my next contender makes me laugh until I shout Bona venture, I've been everywhere Bona venture, it's a wide, wide place Born to rule it, maybe you don't care About where you go or about where you stay Bona venture, I've been everywhere Bona venture, it's a wide, wide place Born to rule it, maybe you don't care About where you go or about where you stay
