[Verse 1]
Come on, baby, don't you wanna go
Way down south, talking about Mexico
Straight through the jungle, out to the sea
We'll have some fun if you fly away with me
Like some old movie in black and white
We'll fall in love in the middle of the night
[Chorus]
Me and you, down in Veracruz
Do what you want to, down in Veracruz
[Verse 2]
Come on, baby, don't you wanna come
In the town, people moving to the drums
Rosa's Cantina, it never stops
Drinking cerveza, people party until they drop
Forget the laundry, forget the rain
We'll get to heaven on the seven-thirty plane
[Chorus]
Me and you, down in Veracruz
Do what you want to, down in Veracruz
Me and you, down in Veracruz
Do what you want to, down in Veracruz
