Stan Kenton - Tampico lyrics

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico You buy a beautiful shawl A souvenir for Aunt Flo Authentic Mexican yarn Made in Idaho I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico The senoritas, they waive, when you arrive at the dock The native costumes they wear Are slacks and bobby socks I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico You buy some pottery there To beat the luxury tax You find that when you get home They sell it cheaper at Sachs I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico You ask a Mexican band To play a rumba-down-dare He turns and says to the boys "Hey, fellas, dig that square!" I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico Down in Mehico
