Chico is the talk of the tropics
He's very gay with his new way of wooing
He's the new Romeo of the tropics
Let's take a peek & see what Chico's doing
A yellow moon is smiling down tonight on Chico
As Chico sings in Puerto Rico
Ma-La-Ja Fah-La Pas-Ka Lah-Tah
He loves to croon his little sentimental dream song
They always listen for his sing song
Ma-La-Ja Fah-La Pas-Ka Lah-Tah
He makes romance with his guitar & takes the lady for a walk
The fair ones come from near & far to hear his Cuban double talk
Ma-La-Ja Fah
His mellow tune makes every Senorita weaken
When Chico sings in Puerto Rican
His sweet sonata there's nothing hotter
Ma-La-Ja Fah-La Pas-Ka Lah-Tah
