Caribbean Songtext
von Jerry Reed

Well have you ever been down to Haiti when
When that summer sun was sinking low?
There′s nothing but romance just everywhere you glance
Oh, and the native hearts are all aglow
And when that tropic queen comes upon the scene
Well they all stare like statues into stone
And when they realize what's before their eyes
Then the other girls are left all alone, sing it children

Down in the Caribbean, it′s not a dream you see
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms


Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky
Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a limb, on a limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
Trying hard just to look like him
Well, he don't understand that it's the lady′s hand
That makes their little heart feel so sublime
But before too long he starts singing their song
And then that monkey gets in the Conga line

Down in the Caribbean, it ain′t a dream you see
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see 'em swing and sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
Give the boy a cigar, back up son
Down in the Caribbean, it′s not a dream you see
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms

Give the boy a cigar, oh yeah
