Rosarita

I laid on your beach

Dreaming and drinking Tequila



I came all the way from Marina del Rey

On a plane yesterday

From the gray LA air



Cheek to cheek

To cheek, Chiquiti-ita

Yo soy amoroso

What could be wrong with the hombre who sings so-so?

From uphill Californio



Rosarita

Forget that border, check please

You won't have to sneak

Two or three times a week



And your green card, tarjeta-verde may never be shown

'Cause you've got my heart, on permanent loan



Cheek to cheek

To cheek, Chiquiti-ita

Yo soy amoroso

What could be wrong with the hombre who sings solo?

From uphill Californio
