Stan Kenton, June Christy - Tampico lyrics
[Stan Kenton, June Christy - Tampico lyrics]
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
You buy a beautiful shawl
A souvenir for Aunt Flo
Authentic Mexican yarn made in Idaho
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
The señoritas they wave
When you arrive at the dock
The native costumes they wear
Are slacks and bobby socks
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
You buy some pottery there
To beat the luxury tax
You find that when you get home
They sell it cheaper at Saks
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
You ask a Mexican band
To play a rhumba down there
He turns and says to the boys
"Hey, fellas, dig that square"
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
Down in Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
You buy a beautiful shawl
A souvenir for Aunt Flo
Authentic Mexican yarn made in Idaho
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
The señoritas they wave
When you arrive at the dock
The native costumes they wear
Are slacks and bobby socks
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
You buy some pottery there
To beat the luxury tax
You find that when you get home
They sell it cheaper at Saks
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
You ask a Mexican band
To play a rhumba down there
He turns and says to the boys
"Hey, fellas, dig that square"
Ay, Tampico, Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico down in Mexico
Down in Mexico
