Spanish Town |
| Oh signorita |
| When the evening sun go down |
| I come to serenade you |
| From another part of town. |
| Rafaella is my mother’s name. |
| She loves her Juan Jose |
| My mother is a matriarch |
| Oh what more can I say |
| Together they raised three children |
| Mario Carmen and Ray |
| They live near de Janeiro |
| on Mona da Vinci Bay |
| I’m gonna eat my rice and beans |
| I’m gonna suck on a chili dog |
| Way down in Spanish Town |
| In the Spanish fog |
| Oh I love you to meet my friend Don Juan |
| He loves to play the mandolin |
| Signoritas they gather 'round' |
| Cause they think that he’s a Mexican |
| But I know so much better |
| I’m holding here the proof |
| Don Juan is a gringo boy |
| He’s not telling us the truth |
| But he loves his rice and beans |
| He’s gonna suck on a chili dog |
| Way down in SpanishTown |
| In a Spanish fog |
| I love you to meet Margarita |
| Margarita she is calling me |
| And I love to hear my name |
| Out the lights and bring on the wine |
| It’s Fiesta time again |
| You know I love my Portugal |
| 'cause she shows me what to do |
| All the roads lead to Mexico, Mexico, Mehico, Mexico, |
| Mehico |
| but they bring me back to you |
| She’s gonna eat her rice and beans |
| She’s gonna suck on a chili dog |
| Way down in Spanish Town |
| In the Spanish fog |
| Revolution is in the street |
| I can feel it in my blood |
| I can see Allende still crying out |
| But they nip him at the bud |
| Oh they’re talking in the alleys |
| of Old San Juan, Old San Juan |
| All the soldiers gonna walk the trail |
| Big sombreros see them everywhere |
| Zapata lands in jail |
| Ain’t gonna eat no rice and beans |
| Ain’t gonna suck on nobody’s chili dog |
| Way down in SpanishTown |
| In a Spanish fog |
| Way down in Spanish Town |
