[Verse 1]
I'm so confused
This latin music's got me
So, so bemused
The accents worse than Cockney
I'm not amused, it's killing me

[Chorus]
(Uh, oh. It's Carmen and Miranda)
(The Coconuts got a brand new cha-cha)
(Oh, no. The rhumba and the samba)
(Whatever happened to the hullabaloo?)

[Verse 2]
Frazzled and floored
This latin music's mayhem
I won't endure
There's too much syncopation
Where's the two and four? It's killing me

[Chorus]
(Uh, oh. It's Carmen and Miranda)
(The Coconuts got a brand new cha-cha)
(Oh, no. The rhumba and the samba)
(Whatever happened to the hullabaloo?)
[Bridge]
And always mira mira
Que pasa mi queridas
I thought I knew you
What happened to you

[Verse 3]
I'm so confused
This latin music's for the
Deserts and ruse
I'm sure it makes senoras
Body and loose, it's killing me

[Chorus]
(Uh, oh. It's Carmen and Miranda)
(The Coconuts got a brand new cha-cha)
(Oh, no. The rhumba and the samba)
(Whatever happened to the hullabaloo?)

[Chorus]
(Uh, oh. It's Carmen and Miranda)
(The Coconuts got a brand new cha-cha)
(Oh, no. The rhumba and the samba)
(Whatever happened to the hullabaloo?)

[Chorus]
(Uh, oh. It's Carmen and Miranda)
(The Coconuts got a brand new cha-cha)
(Oh, no. The rhumba and the samba)
(Whatever happened to the hullabaloo?)
[Outro]
Carmen and Miranda
Ho, ho, ho, ho
