On a hilltop in Tahiti as we gazed across the bay At the island of Moorea, standing in the day And my lovely Margarita serving cool Hinano beer I'll be a fool in paradise if I'm a fool out here
Chorus Yo lana, can you stand the heat Yo lana, bouncing in bare feet Yo lana, when you laugh at me Yo lana, said I....I'm in ecstacy
Her name is Margarita and the salt upon your lips Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this isle Is captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your smile
The sunshine warms your mountain and it paints you golden brown These waters lap around you where I only hope to drown
The coconut plantation, the sea and sky are blue The south pacific islands they are all caressing you
The crimson dress you're wearing, with nothing underneath The flower there behind your ear, the grass beneath your feet Margarita, Margarita please dance with me tonight We will dance together where the stars are shining bright
Margarita, Margarita I come from far away Let's go take a dive down in Makawai Bay Margarita, Margarita, we pokin Hinalea We go in the dark and we don't need a spear
