Calexico & Jim James - Goin' To Acapulco lyrics

rate me

I'm goin' down to Rose Marie's<br />

She never does me wrong<br />

She puts it to me plain as day<br />

And gives it to me for a song<br />

<br />

It's a wicked life but what the hell<br />

Know that everybody got to eat<br />

And I'm just the same as anyone else<br />

When it comes to scratching for my meat<br />

<br />

Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run<br />

Goin' down to see some girl<br />

Goin' to have some fun, yeah<br />

Goin' to have some fun<br />

<br />

Now, whenever I get up<br />

Can't find what I need<br />

I just make it down to Rose Marie's<br />

And get somethin' quick to eat<br />

<br />

It's not about way to make a livin'<br />

And I ain't complanin' none<br />

But I can plough my plum and drink my rum<br />

And then go on home and have my fun<br />

<br />

Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run<br />

Goin' down to see some girl<br />

Goin' to have some fun, yeah<br />

Goin' to have some fun<br />

<br />

Now, if someone offers me a joke<br />

I just say, "No thanks"<br />

I try to tell it like it is<br />

And keep away from pranks<br />

<br />

Now, every time you know when the well breaks down<br />

I just go on and pump it some<br />

Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places<br />

And just sit there waitin' for me to come<br />

<br />

Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run<br />

Goin' down to see some girl<br />

Goin' to have some fun, yeah<br />

Goin' to have some fun<br />

Goin' to have some fun
