I’ll See You in C-U-B-A Songtext
von Any Old Time String Band

Not so far from here
There′s a very lively atmosphere
Everybody's goin′ there this year
And there's a reason
The season opened last July
Ever since the USA went dry
Everybody's goin′ there and I′m goin' too

I′m on my way to Cuba
That's where I′m goin'
Cuba, that′s where I'll stay
Cuba, where wine is flowin'
And where those dark-eyed Stellas
Light their fella′s panatellas
Cuba, where all is happy
Cuba, where all is gay
Why don′t you plan a wonderful trip
To Havana, hop on a ship
And I'll see you in C-U-B-A


(Cuba, that′s where I'm goin′)
Why don't you do your drinkin′ like a Cuban
Instead of hidin' in a cellar?
(Cuba, that's where I′ll stay)
Since Prohibition, tell me, how have you been
A very frightened little fella?
(Cuba, where wine is flowin′)
Why don't you pour it from a bottle
′Stead of a tiny silver flask?
(Cuba, where all is happy)
Drink your Scotch rum or gin where the drys can't get in
(And where those dark-eyed Stellas)
The finest bars are there, cigars are there that only are made in

Cuba, where all is happy
Cuba, where all is gay
Why don′t you plan a wonderful trip
To Havana, hop on a ship
And I'll see you in C-U-B-A

Cuba, that′s where I'm goin'
Cuba, that′s where I′ll stay
Cuba, where wine is flowin'
And where those dark-eyed Stellas
Light their fella′s panatellas
(Cuba, where all is happy)
I've never been a drinkin′ lady
I've never smoked a panatella
(Cuba, where all is gay)
But I′m a she who likes to be where all is gay, okay


Why don't you leave your cares and troubles behind
And tell 'em our next address is where they stay up late
Drink ′til they′re blind, blind but nevertheless
They're glad to see you in C-U-B-A
Why don′t you travel with us in a train or a bus
To Miami where we can begin to plan
A wonderful trip on a plane or a ship
That will take us from Florida to Havana
See you (Cómo está?) in C-U (Muy bien) B-A
