Tampico

[Chorus]
Ay, Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
Down in Mexico

[Verse 1]
You buy a beautiful shawl
A souvenir for Aunt Flo
Authentic Mexican yarn
Made in Idaho

[Chorus]
Ay, Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
Down in Mexico

[Verse 2]
The señoritas they wave
When you arrive at the dock
The native costumes they wear
Are slacks and bobby socks

[Chorus]
Ay, Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
Down in Mexico

[Verse 3]
You buy some pottery there
To beat the luxury tax
You find that when you get home
They sell it cheaper at Saks

[Chorus]
Ay, Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
Down in Mexico

[Verse 4]
You ask a Mexican band
To play a rhumba down there
He turns and says to the boys
"Hey, fellas, dig that square"

[Chorus]
Ay, Tampico, Tampico
On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico
Down in Mexico

[Outro]
Down in Mexico
