South American Way

Hi-hi hi-hi have you ever danced in the tropics?
In that hazy lazy like kind of crazy like
South American way
Hi-hi hi-hi 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-hi hi-hi there is melody in their music
While the gauchos sing it come on and swing it
The South American way la la la la la
Hi-hi hi-hi-hi-hi hi have you ever danced in the tropics?
Where they throw the pool with the gaucho's full
Of the South
A-American way hey
Hi-hi hi-hi-hi-hi hi could you have ever kissed in the moonlight?
If you've never kissed a boy what you've missed in that South A-American way
The Latin scheme of love is like a dream of love
Is like a stream of love that's 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 there is melody in their music
While the gauchos sing it come on and swing it
The South A-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-hi hi-hi there's a melody in their music
While the gauchos sing it come on and swing it
The South A-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-hi.
