Managua Nicaragua - Guy Lombardo

Managua, Nicaragua

— words by Albert Gamse, music by Irving Fields

— as recorded in New York November 15, 1946 by Guy Lombardo

And His Royal Canadians

Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town

You buy a hacienda for a few pesos down

You give it to the lady you are tryin' to win

But her papa doesn’t let you come in

Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place

You ask a seorita for a 'leetle' embrace

She answers you, «Caramba!

scram-ba bambarito»

In Managua, Nicaragua, that’s «No»

I have been to many tropic ports

I might include even Brooklyn

If you’re ever feelin' out of sorts

I’d like to recommend a look in…

Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot

There’s coffee and bananas and a temperature hot

So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away

Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol

Ol, ol

Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol

Every day is made for play and fun

'Cause every day is fiesta

And they work from twelve o’clock to one

Minus an hour for siesta

Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot

There’s coffee and bananas and a temperature hot

So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away
