I Went To Panama To Find Out Why

It's Called The Tropic Zone.

The Senoritas There Had So Much Charm,

They Could Even Melt A Heart Of Stone,

A Hot Tamale Gal, She Flashed Me A Smile,

And I Lost My Heart Right Then.

I Thought I'd Only Stay

Down There For A Day,

Now I Think I'll Never Leave Again.



Chorus:

In Panama Those Panamamas,

They Live The Life Of A Beautiful Dream.

Your Life's A Waste Until You Get A Taste

Of The Thrill That You Get

From A Tropical Queen.



Now Kindly Get Me Straight,

I Think They're Great,

Those Gals From Tennessee

But When They Say, "Si, Si," In Panama,

Then The Trill Is Really Different To Me.

Manana Never Comes Down There

I Live Just For Tonight.

I Take Her In My Arms

Beneath The Beautiful Palms,

And It's Heaven When I Hold Her Tight.



Chorus



I'm Making Memories

On Balconies

Sombreros, They Fit Me Fine.

I Know That Pretty Soon,

I'll Honeymoon

With That Sweet Chiquita Of Mine.

Out On The Edge Of Town

We're Gonna Settle Down

How Happy We're Gonna Be.

It Takes A Deeper Pot

From Down Old Panama

To Catch A Feller From Tennessee.



Chorus
