Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe movie - In Acapulco lyrics

<br>

Chorus:<br>

<br>

If you're romantic, chum,<br>

Pack up your duds and come<br>

To Acapulco.<br>

You put your cares in hock<br>

And throw away your clock<br>

In Acapulco.<br>

Where you can be as lazy as a daisy drifting in a blue lagoon,<br>

You're wide awake at night, because you do your dreaming in the afternoon.<br>

You'll get a Latin glow<br>

Way down in Mehico,<br>

Below the border.<br>

And in a spot like this,<br>

If you refuse a kiss<br>

You're out of order.<br>

And when the moon is new,<br>

It's like a honeydew,<br>

Come on and get yourself a slice;<br>

And if you can't say Acapulco,<br>

Then you can call it Paradise.<br>

<br>

Patter:<br>

<br>

When you meet someone you like,<br>

You like to have a conversation,<br>

When you do not understand,<br>

It's such a touchy situation,<br>

But you mustn't let it bother you,<br>

You only have to know:<br>

Chica linda, pretty baby,<br>

Yo te quiero, I adore you,<br>

Yo te quiero, chica linda, Muchi-si-si-si-simo.<br>

As you're sittin' in the sun,<br>

You sip a pitcher of papaya,<br>

While you listen to a parrot<br>

That they call a papagaya,<br>

And you learn a lot of phrases that are very apropos.<br>

Chica linda, pretty baby,<br>

Dame_un beso, won't you kiss me,<br>

Yo te quiero, chica linda, dame_un beso, dame lo<br>

(Dame_un beso, dame lo)<br>

<br>

Half-chorus:<br>

<br>

You'll need some new huaraches,<br>

When the mariachis<br>

Start to play there.<br>

And after you depart<br>

I know your crazy heart<br>

Is gonna stay there.<br>

And if I haven't sold you<br>

With the things I've told you,<br>

Then I must repeat it twice,<br>

That if you can't say Acapulco,<br>

Then you can call it Paradise.<br>

<br>
