Up here in the land of the hot-dog stand The atom bomb and the Good Humor Man We think our South American neighbors are grand We love 'em to beat the band
South America, baba-loo, baba-loo, ay-ee-eh, baba-loo One favor you can do, ay-ee-eh, you can do You beautiful lands below Don't know what you began To put it plainly, I'm tired of shakin' To that Pan-American plan
Take back your Samba, ay!, Your Rumba, ay!, Your Conga, ay-yi-yi! I can't keep shaking', ay!, My rumble, ay!, Any longer, ay-yi-yi! Now maybe Latins, ay!, In their middles, ay!, Are built stronger, ay-yi-yi! But all this makin' with the quakin' And the shakin' of the bacon leaves me achin', olé!
First you shake it and put it there Then you shake it and you put it here Then you shake it and put it there That's enough, that's enough Take it back, my spine's outta-whack
There's a great big sack In the back of my sacroilliac
Take back your Conga, ay!, Your Samba, ay!, Your Rumba, ay-yi-yi! Why can't you send us, ay!, A less strenu-, ay!, -ous number, ay-yi-yi! It's getting so now, ay! That even, ay! In slumber, ay-yi-yi! I hear the rockin'of Maraka's And the knocking of the naka's In my carcas, olé This fancy swishin' imposition wears out All of my transmission ammunition, olé! I know there is danger really lurking If my rear end keeps on working at this jerking, olé South America, take it awayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
