Lyrics Going To Acapulco - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Going To Acapulco

I’m going down to Rose Marie’s
She never does me wrong
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song
Well it’s a wicked life but what the hell?
Everybody’s got to eat
And I’m just the same as everybody else
When it comes to scratching for my meat
(Goin' to Acapulco)
Goin' on the run
(Goin' down to see some girl)
Goin' to have some fun
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun
Oh, now, whenever I get up
And can’t find what I need
I just make it down to Rose Marie’s
And get something quick to eat
And it’s not a bad way to make a livin'
And I ain’t complainin' none
For I can plow my plum (?) and drink my rum
And then go on home and have my fun
(Goin' to Acapulco)
Goin' on the run
(Goin' down to see some girl)
Goin' to have me some fun
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun
Now, when someone offers me a joke
I just say no thanks
I try to tell it like it is
And keep myself away from pranks
Like, every time you know when the well breaks down
I just go pump on it some
And Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places
And just set there waitin' for me to come
(Goin' to Acapulco)
Goin' on the run
(Goin' down to see some girl)
Goin' to have some fun
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun
