Tuning: E A D G B E
HaCve you ever been down to Haiti
When the summer sun was sinkinG7' low
There's nothing but romance just everwhere you glance
And the native hearts are all aCglow
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
They all stare like a statue out ofF stone
When they realize what's befCore their eyes
The otherG7 girls are left all alone
DCown in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the G7charm
And from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that Cforms
UCp in a tree so high way up in the sky
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a lG7imb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
Just to try to be likeC him
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
That makes a heart feel so subFlime
And before too long he startsC singing the song
And then heG7 gets in the Conga Cline
CColumbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
Part of the CaribbG7ean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
It was the gold that he was sCeein'
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
'Cause we're on our honeymoFon
I'm so sorry Chris to talk aboCut you like this
But you were G7five hundred years too sCoon
Down in the Caribbean...
