Tampico Songtext
von Beverly Kenney

Tampico, Tampico
Where banana boats all go
Tampico, Tampico
Down in Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
That′s the place for you to go

When you are making the rounds
Let me give you a tip
Don't think the natives are square
They′re very, very hip, ah
You order Mexican food
Grown on the native terrain
The waiter brings you a bowl
Of eggrolls and chow mein, ah


Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
That's the place for you to go

You check into a hotel
They lead you right to the bar
Just one tequila, my friend
And you forget where you are
You go to see a bullfight
And your admission you pay
They tell you when you're inside
"Baseball here today, oy"

Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
That′s the place for you to go

Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
That′s the place for you to go, ah


Tampico, Tampico
Where banana boats all go
Tampico, Tampico
Down in Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
That's the place for you to go

Tampico, Tampico

Where banana boats all go
Tampico, Tampico
