Jim James
Goin’ to Acapulco
[Verse 1]
I'm goin' down to Rose Marie's
She never does me wrong
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song

[Verse 2]
It's a wicked life, but what the hell
Know that everybody got to eat
And I'm just the same as anyone else
When it comes to scratching for my meat

[Chorus]
Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun, yeah
Goin' to have some fun

[Verse 3]
Now, whenever I get up
Can't find what I need
I just make it down to Rose Marie's
And get somethin' quick to eat

[Verse 4]
It's not about way to make a livin'
And I ain't complanin' none
But I can plough my plum and drink my rum
And then go on home and have my fun
[Chorus]
Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun, yeah
Goin' to have some fun

[Verse 5]
Now, if someone offers me a joke
I just say, "No thanks"
I try to tell it like it is
And keep away from pranks

[Verse 6]
Now, every time you know when the well breaks down
I just go on and pump it some
Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places
And just sit there waitin' for me to come

[Chorus]
Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun, yeah
Goin' to have some fun
Goin' to have some fun
