Not so far from here
 There's a very lively atmosphere
 Ev'rybody's going there this year
 And there's a reason
 The season opened last July
 Ever since the U.S.A went dry
 Ev'rybody's going there and I'm going, too
 I'm on my way to

 [chorus:]
 Cuba there's where I'm going
 Cuba there's where I'll stay

 Cuba where wine is flowing
 And where dark-eyed Stellas
 Light their fellers' panatellas
 where all is happy
 Cuba where all is gay

 Why don't you plan a
 Wonderful trip
 To Havana
 Hop on a ship
 And I'll see you in C.U.B.A.

 [2nd verse:]
 Take a friend's advice
 Drinking in a cellar isn't nice
 Anybody who has got the price
 Should be a Cuban
 Have you been longing for the 'smile'
 That you haven't had for quite a while?
 If you have, then follow me and I'll show the way
 I'm on my way to
