Hi-yi, hi-yi, Have you ever danced in the tropics In that hazy lazy like, Kind of crazy like, South American way@
Hi-yi, hi-yi, Have you ever kissed in the moonlight In the grand and glorious, Gay notorious, South American way?
The Latin scheme of love Is like a dream of love, A Latin stream of love Is in their veins. They'll buy a jewel for you, Or fight a dual for you, Or drive a mule for you Across the plains.
Hi-yi, hi-yi, There is melody in their music; While the gauchos sing it, Come on and swing it The South American way.
(scat) Hi-yi, hi-yi-oy-yi, Could you have ever kissed in the moonlight? If you've never kissed a boy, What you've missed In that South American way!
The Latin scheme of love Is like a dream of love, Is like a stream of love Is in their veins. They'll buy a jewel for you, Or fight a dual for you, They'll ride a mule for you Across the plains.
Hi-yi, hi-yi, There is melody in their music; While the gauchos sing it, Come on and swing it The South American way.
The Latin scheme of love Is like a dream of love, A Latin stream of love Is in their veins. They'll buy a jewel for you, Or fight a dual for you, Or ride a mule for you Across the plains.
Hi-hi, hi-hi-hi,hi-hi, There is melody in their music; While the gauchos sing it, Come on and swing it The South American way.
They will drive a mule across the plains, Even if it starts to rain, The South American way, hi-hi, hi-hi, hi-hi, hi!
