Worked all my life
For me and my wife, yeah
All sweat and frustration
But I've been savin' my money for my tropic vacation in Havana

I gotta get some sun
Take me to Havana
Or I'll use this gun

It's been hard work and tears
For 40 long years, now
Can't wait any longer
And now I'm on my way to my tropic day down in Havana

I gotta get some sun
Hey, take me to Havana
Or I'll use this gun

I'm now 65
And my wife ain't alive, yeah
At last I'm a free man
And no communist scheme is gonna ruin my dream of Havana

I wanna get some sun
Hey, take me to Havana
Or I'll use this gun
(Cuba la mera)

(Me voy a robar un aeroplano)
(Y me voy para Cuba)

(Se va solita)
(Se va a Cuba)

Oh, fly me to Havana
I've gotta get some sun
Hey, take me to Havana
Or I'll use this gun
