Four hundred years ago,
Came by banana boat.
Left your island in the sun,
Where it all begun.
Ooh oohh,
What a bonita–
Menina que passa,
Where’s your eldorado?
Senorita bonita,
A shining juanita.
From sansibar to manila,
Known on each avenida.
Continues after the ad
Senorita bonita,
Living no vida loca.
Got no time for fiesta,
Maybe sometimes siesta.
She came from ipanema,
She walked the street for money
She got to feed her baby
Her brother played da marimba.
You – ooh, could be kinda free,
Menina que passa,
There’s your eldorado.
Senorita bonita,
A shining juanita.
From malaga to manila.
Known on each avenida.
