Down In The Caribbean

 C
Have you ever been down to Haiti
                              G7
When the summer sun was sinkin' low

There's nothing but romance just 
everwhere you glance
                               C
And the native hearts are all aglow


C
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon 
the scene
They all stare like a statue out of 
F
stone
                            C
When they realize what's before 
their eyes
         G7
The other girls are left all alone

[Verse]
 C
Down in the Caribbean it's not a 
dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady 
         G7
with the charm

And from miles away you can see her 
sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line 
     C
that forms


 C
Up in a tree so high way up in the 
sky
                              G7
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb

He wonders why the people go to so 
much trouble
                      C
Just to try to be like him

[Verse]
C
He doesn't understand that it's a 
lady's hand
                              F
That makes a heart feel so sublime
                             C
And before too long he starts 
singing the song
           G7                 C
And then he gets in the Conga line


 C
Columbus searched for spices but he 
missed the nicest
                  G7
Part of the Caribbean

He didn't see the charms and the 
open arms
                             C
It was the gold that he was seein'

[Verse]
C
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest 
thing I've kissed
                           F
'Cause we're on our honeymoon
                              C
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you
 like this
             G7                    
But you were five hundred years too
  C
