The Weekend Of A Private Secretary(Album Version) - Monica Mancini

I went to Havana

On one of those cruises

For forty nine fifty

To spend a few days

I went to Havana to look at the natives

To study their customs

Their picturesque ways

In searching for some local colour

I ran across a Cuban Gent

And he was such a big sensation

I forgot the population

He showed me the city

he showed me the customs

My trip to Havana was quite a success

We had a bacardi

I forgot the clock

So we were tardy

In returning to the dock

So I delayed it

Even dropping my shawl

The Cuban made it

As they made the final call

Darn it all

I'm back in my office

I'm punching the time clock

But you can bet my mind

is not on my work

Instead of bacardi I'm ordering bromo

Instead of the Cuban

I'm stuck with the clerk

The other girls can go to Europe

And marry into royalty

And they can get an earl or a marquis

Or a Russian or a darky

But when I get married and settle in Brooklyn

He may be a slicker he may be a hick

Or a Rubens

But you can bet that he'll be Cuban
