Have you ever been down to Haiti when

The summer sun was sinking low

There's nothing but romance

just everywhere you glance

And the native hearts are all a glow

But when the Cuban Queen

comes upon the scene

They all stare like a statue out of stone

And when they realize

what's before their eyes

The other girls are left all alone

Down in the Caribbean

it's not a dream you're seeing

When you get a glimpse of

the lady with the charm

But from miles away

you can see her sway

To the beat of the Cuban

Conga line that forms

Up in a tree so high

way up in the sky

Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb

He wonders why the people

go to so much trouble

Just to try to be like him

He doesn't understand

that it's a lady's hand

That makes a heart feel so sublime

But before too long

he starts singing the song

And then he gets in the Conga line

Columbus searched for spices

but he missed the nicest

Part of the Caribbean

He didn't see the charms

and the open arms

It was the gold that he was seeing

Oh but I'm glad he missed

the sweetest thing I've kissed

Cause we're on our honeymoon

I'm so sorry Chris

to talk about you like this

But you were five hundred years too soon

Down in the Caribbean

it's not a dream you're seeing

When you get a glimpse of

the lady with the charm

But from miles away

you can see her sway

To the beat of the Cuban

Conga line that forms

Up in a tree so high

way up in the sky

Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb

He wonders why the people

go to so much trouble

Just to try to be like him

He doesn't understand

that it's a lady's hand

That makes a heart feel so sublime

But before too long

he starts singing the song

And then he gets in the Conga line
