Nat “King” Cole
(I’ll See You In) C-U-B-A
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 USA went dry
Everybody's going there and I'm going too!
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 fella'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
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 a smile
That you haven't had for quite a while?
If you have, then follow me and I'll
Show the way!
Come on along 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 fella's panatellas
Cuba, where all is happy
Cuba, where all is gay!
With so much scotch and rye on the table
I'll drink till I won't be able
To see you in C-U-B-A!
