Song lyrics
PT-boat on the way to Havana
I used to make a living, man
Pickin' the banana
Now I'm a guide for the CIA
Hooray for the USA!
Baby, baby, make me loco
Baby, baby, make me mambo
Sent to spy on a Cuban talent show
First stop – Havana a go-go
I used to make a living, man
Pickin' the banana
Hooray for Havana!
Baby, baby, make me loco
Baby, baby, make me mambo
PT-boat on the way to Havana
I used to make a living, man
Pickin' the banana
Now I'm a guide for the CIA
Hooray for the USA!
Baby, baby, make me loco
Baby, baby, make me mambo, ohhhh, ohhhh
Sent to spy on a Cuban talent show
First stop – Havana a go-go
I used to make a living, man
Pickin' the banana
Hooray for Havana!
Baby, baby, make me loco
Baby, baby, make me mambo, ohhhh, ohhhh
