SAILORS COME, SAILORS GO


Sailors come

Sailors go

Whether they tell the truth or it’s a game only them and the good Lord knows


Fantasy Island this is where they will be

Where all your wishes, dreams, and desires can be lived out and no one outside of Bahrain will see


A huge multicultural population where people come from near and far 

Having exotic beauties at your disposal 2, 3, 4, or more


Café’s, coffee shops, lounges, souq’s and shopping malls

Bahrain is the place where you come to play and pay to have it all


No matter what day of the week there is ALWAYS a ladies night somewhere

For what you will pay to fill up a tank of gas in the U.S you can have a spa day, movie date and a five star dinner with a little cash to spare.


Salacious rumours, inconspicuous activities, what scandal will be released this week? Everything can be a tell all book and nothing less than juicy.


Men loving all the ladies, ladies loving all the attention

Better be careful ‘cause you’ll never know whose switch hitting.


Mud ducks and chicken heads Bahrain will not exclude

Heck, you can come here and create your own 2 Lame Crew.


Tongues telling lavish tales of having whatever you like

But it’s really a false statement that always ends in PSYCH!


Marriage proposals, shacking up, 'local spouses' running rampant

Not knowing that there are loved ones else where while they are here doing damage.


Misleading, misguiding of what intentions people are truly hiding

For those on a virtuous path BEWARE the temptation of backsliding.


Sailors come 

Sailors go

If you’ve never been here then you will never know.


This is life, this is Bahrain 

Is it Beautiful? Let certain men tell it and they’ll gladly exclaim;

“This is my beautiful Bahrain.”
