On a hilltop in Tahiti as we gazed across the bay
|
At the island of Moorea, standing in the day
|
And my lovely Margarita serving cool Hinano beer
|
I'll be a fool in paradise if I'm a fool out here
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Yo lana, can you stand the heat
|
Yo lana, bouncing in bare feet
|
Yo lana, when you laugh at me
|
Yo lana, said I....I'm in ecstacy
|
|
Her name is Margarita and the salt upon your lips
|
Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss
|
All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this isle
|
Is captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your smile
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
The sunshine warms your mountain and it paints you golden brown
|
These waters lap around you where I only hope to drown
|
The coconut plantation, the sea and sky are blue
|
The south pacific islands they are all caressing you
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
The crimson dress you're wearing, with nothing underneath
|
The flower there behind your ear, the grass beneath your feet
|
Margarita, Margarita please dance with me tonight
|
We will dance together where the stars are shining bright
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
Margarita, Margarita I come from far away
|
Let's go take a dive down in Makawai Bay
|
Margarita, Margarita, we pokin Hinalea
|
We go in the dark and we don't need a spear
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
