Managua, Nicaragua
Would you kindly open your geography
Let us turn to page a hundred twenty three
Between the carribean and the pacific shore
You'll find the city of amore
Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town
You buy a hosienda for a few pesos down
You show it to the lady you are tryin' to win
But her papa doesn't let her go in
Managua, Nicaragua yes it's really the top
You get a big sombrero at the neighbourhood shop
Soon the girls will follow you like in the parade
That's because the want to walk in the shade
You have never seen the tropic sun
Till you have been to Managua
When evening shadows fall and day is done
There's moonlight at Nicaragua
What if a tarantula should give you a bite
You just apply banana oil and you'll be alright
So take a trip on a ship and be sailing away
Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua Olay
Managua Nicaragua is delightful in spring
You meet a sweet chiquita and you think of a ring
When it comes to say si si you were denied
She would rather be a bullfighter's bride
Managua, Nicaragua in the city so quaint
You live like you're a millionaire though that's what you ain't
You hardly would believe how much a peso can buy
One thin slice of tasty coconut pie
Everyday is made for play and fun
Cos everyday is fiesta
And from twelve o'clock to one
Minus an hour for siesta
You can feast on native patties all the day long
Provided that your tummy is especially strong
So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away
Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua Olay
