I went to Panama to find out why 
It's called the tropic zone.
The senoritas there had so much charm, 
They could even melt a heart of stone,
A hot tamale gal, she flashed me a smile, 
And I lost my heart right then.
I thought I'd only stay 
Down there for a day, 
Now I think I'll never leave again.

Chorus:
In Panama those Panamamas, 
They live the life of a beautiful dream.
Your life's a waste until you get a taste 
Of the thrill that you get 
From a tropical queen.

Now kindly get me straight, 
I think they're great, 
Those gals from Tennessee
But when they say, "Si, si," in Panama, 
Then the trill is really different to me.
Manana never comes down there
I live just for tonight.
I take her in my arms 
Beneath the beautiful palms, 
And it's heaven when I hold her tight.

Chorus

I'm making memories 
On balconies 
Sombreros, they fit me fine.
I know that pretty soon, 
I'll honeymoon 
With that sweet chiquita of mine.
Out on the edge of town 
We're gonna settle down
How happy we're gonna be.
It takes a deeper pot 
From down old Panama 
To catch a feller from Tennessee.

Chorus
