Oh, have you ever been down to Haiti When the summer sun was sinkin low Theres nothin but romance just everwhere you glance And the native hearts are all aglow But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene They all stare like a statue out of stone And when they realize whats before their eyes The other girls are left all alone Down in the Caribbean its not a dream youre seein 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 He wonders why the people go to so much trouble Just to try and be like him He doesnt understand that its a ladys hand That makes a heart feel so sublime But before too long he starts to sing the song And then he gets in the Conga line Down in the Caribbean its not a dream youre seein 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 Columbus searched for spices But he missed the nicest part of the Caribbean He didnt see the charms and the open arms It was the gold that he was seein But Im glad he missed the sweetest thing Ive kissed Cause were on our honeymoon Im so sorry Chris to talk about you like this But you were five hundred years too soon Down in the Caribbean its not a dream youre seein 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
