| I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
|
| Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico
|
| You buy a beautiful shawl
|
| A souvenir for Aunt Flo
|
| Authentic Mexican yarn
|
| Made in Idaho
|
| I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
|

|
| The senoritas, they waive, when you arrive at the dock
|
| The native costumes they wear
|
| Are slacks and bobby socks
|
| I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
|
| Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico
|
| You buy some pottery there
|
| To beat the luxury tax
|
| You find that when you get home
|
| They sell it cheaper at Sachs
|
| I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
|
| Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico
|
| You ask a Mexican band
|
| To play a rumba-down-dare
|
| He turns and says to the boys
|
| «Hey, fellas, dig that square!»
