 Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town
 You buy a hacienda for a few pesos down
 You give it to the lady you are tryin' to win
 But her papa doesn't let you come in

 Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place
 You ask a se?orita for a 'leetle' embrace
 She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito"
 In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No"

 I have been to many tropic ports
 I might include even Brooklyn
 If you're ever feelin' out of sorts
 I'd like to recommend a look in...

 Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot
 There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot
 So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away
 Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol?
 Ol?, ol?
 Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol?

 Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place

 She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito"
 In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No"

 Every day is made for play and fun
 'Cause every day is fiesta
 And they work from twelve o'clock to one
 Minus an hour for siesta

 Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot
 There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot
 So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away
 Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol?
