CHECK VISA (Miss Mary’s Song)

[Verse 1] A guy from Nicaragua came one day, With a smile so bright, he stayed and stayed. Coffee on the rooftop, talking every night, Everything was perfect, everything felt right. But the calendar kept moving on, The visa date was almost gone. Nobody noticed, nobody knew, Until the police came walking through. [Pre-Chorus] Oh no, what a surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes. A little mistake became so big, Now everybody’s feeling it. [Chorus] Check that visa, check it twice, Don’t rely on luck or nice. If your guest decides to stay, Make sure the visa’s okay. Check that visa every day, Don’t let the expiry slip away. Twenty million gone so fast, One small mistake can really last. [Verse 2] At Mary Loft we learned the hard way, Overstay can ruin your day. The first time costs more than twenty mil, That payment gave me quite a chill. And if it happens once again, You might meet investigators then. Questions, papers, long reports, That’s not the game for any host. [Pre-Chorus] Oh no, what a surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes. A little mistake became so big, Now everybody’s feeling it. [Chorus] Check that visa, check it twice, Don’t rely on luck or nice. If your guest decides to stay, Make sure the visa’s okay. Check that visa every day, Don’t let the expiry slip away. Twenty million gone so fast, One small mistake can really last. [Bridge] Miss Mary will remember still, The boy from Nicaragua will. Not for trouble, not for blame, But because life changed that day. A lesson learned, a story told, For every host both new and old. Before the key and before the room, Check the visa before the boom. [Final Chorus - Repeat] Check that visa, check it twice, Don’t rely on luck or nice. If your guest decides to stay, Make sure the visa’s okay. Check that visa, check it twice, Don’t rely on luck or nice. If your guest decides to stay, Make sure the visa’s okay. Check visa carefully! Check visa carefully! Check visa carefully every time! Check visa carefully! Check visa carefully! Miss Mary says: “Check that visa every time!”
