Tampico lyrics by Pete Jacobs And His Wartime Radio Revue
Tampico
Pete Jacobs And His Wartime Radio Revue
I, Tampico, Tampico,
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico,
Down in Mexico, oh!
You buy a beautiful shawl
A souvenir for Aunt Flo
Authentic Mexican yarn
Made in Idaho
I, Tampico, Tampico,
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico,
Down in Mexico, oh!
The senoritas, they waive,
As you arrive at the dock
The native costumes they wear
Are slacks and bobby socks
I, Tampico, Tampico,
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico,
Down in Mexico, oh!
You buy some pottery there
To beat the luxury tax
You find that when you get home
They sell it cheaper at Sachs
I, Tampico, Tampico,
NOn the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico,
Down in Mexico
You ask a Mexican band
To play a rumba-down-dare
He turns and says to the boys
"Hey, fellas, dig that square!"
I, Tampico, Tampico,
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico,
Down in Mexico.
Down in Mexico
