If you romantic chump, pack up your duds and come to Acapulco
You put your cares in hock and throw away your clock in Acapulco
Where you can be as lazy as a daisy drifting in a blue lagoon
You wide awake at night because you do your dreaming in the afternoon
You get a Latin glow way down in Mexico, below the border
And in a spot like this, if you refuse a kiss, you're out of order
And when the moon is new, it's like a honeydew, come on and get yourself a slice
And if you can't say Acapulco, then you can call it paradise
When you meet someone you like, you like to have a conversation
When you do not understand, it's such a touchy situation
But you mustn't let it bother you, you only have to know
Chica linda, pretty baby, yo te quiero, I adore you
Yo te quiero, chica linda, muchisisisimo
As you're sitting in the sun, you sip a pitcher of papaya
While you listen to the parrot that they call the papagaya
And you learn a lot of phrases that are very apropo
Chica linda, pretty baby, dame un beso, won't you kiss me?
Yo te quiero, chica linda, dame un beso, damelo
You'll get a Latin glow way down in Mexico, below the border
And in a spot like this, if you refuse a kiss, you're out of order
And when the moon is new, it's like a honeydew, come on and get yourself a slice
And if you can't say Acapulco, then you can call it paradise
Call it paradise
