Four hundred years ago
Came by banana boat
Left your island in the sun
Where it all begun

Ooh oohh
What a bonita–
Menina que passa
Where's your eldorado?

Senorita bonita
A shining juanita
From sansibar to manila
Known on each avenida

Senorita bonita
Living no vida loca
Got no time for fiesta
Maybe sometimes siesta

She came from ipanema
She walked the street for money
She got to feed her baby
Her brother played da marimba

You – ooh, could be kinda free
Menina que passa
There's your eldorado

Senorita bonita
A shining juanita
From malaga to manila
Known on each avenida
