On a tropical isle
I'd walk for a mile
Just to hear a jukebox play
In the sizzling heat – Ooh!
I must have raw feet
And dance that cocktail Latin way – Hey
I'm not laid back at all
Just wanna have me a ball
In a crosscut and slacks, Wooh! – I never relax
And palm trees will sway as I say
Oh, I'm gonna sing in the sun every day
Oh, I'm gonna dance dance dance
That cocktail Latin way

Oh, the moon on the bay
It shimmers away
As I hula hoop on the sand
Oooh, waves on the beach
Within easy reach
Paradise is so carefully planned, and
I just peeled me a grape
Don't ever want to escape – No!
No sugar tax or income tax
Or things I just don't understand
Oh, I'm gonna sing in the sun every day
Oh, I'm gonna dance dance dance
That cocktail Latin way

Oh, I'm gonna sing in the sun every day
Oh, I'm gonna dance dance dance
That cocktail Latin way
