Verse one: Not so far from here There's a very lively atmosphere Everybody's going there this year, And there's a reason, the season Opened last july, Ever since the u.s.a. went dry, Everybody's going there and i'm going too. Refrain: I'm on my way to cuba, That's where i'm going, Cuba, that's where i'll stay. Cuba, where wine is flowing, And where dark-eyed stellas Light their feller'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. Verse two: Take a friend's advice, Drinking in a cellar isn't nice, Anybody who has got the price, Should be a cuban, Have you been longing for the smile That you haven't had for quite a while, If you have then follow me and i'll show the way.
