Caribbean

Have you ever been down to Haiti, when The summer sun was sinkin' low There's nothin' but romance, just everywhere you glance And the native hearts are all a-glow But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene They all stare like a statue out of stone And when they realize what's before their eyes The other girls are left all alone. Down in the Caribbean, it's not a dream you're seein' When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm But from miles away you can see her sway To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms. Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a limb He wonders why the people go to so much trouble Just to try to be like him He doesn't understand, that it's a lady's hand That makes a heart feel so sublime But before too long, he starts singing the song And then he gets in the Conga line. Columbus searched for spices, but he missed the nicest Part of the Caribbean He didn't see the charms and the open arms It was the gold that he was seein' Oh, but I'm glad he missed, the sweetest thing I've kissed 'Cause we're on our honeymoon I'm so sorry Chris, to talk about you like this But you were five-hundred years too soon.
