(Lee/Shapiro/Seelan)



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
