This makin a livin is killin me
I work like a dog in this hot factory
Cant even afford a vacation when Ive got the time
But Ive got road maps of mexico
Brochures and pictures of places to go
Dreamin in color. livin in black and white

(chorus)
I can drink margaritas with sweet senoritas
Work on my tropical tan
Dangle my feet in the crystal blue water
Lay in the snow white sand
Ive never been down to mexico
But Im gonna go there tonight
Im dreaming in color. livin in black and white

Id like to buy a new cadillac
Build me a house with a pool out back
And eat at the country club every saturday night
But there aint much pay in my ol paycheck
But I'll win the lotto one day I bet
Dreamin in color, livin in black and white

(repeat chorus)

Im dreamin in color, livin in black and white
