[verse 1]
Not so far from here,
There's a very lively atmosphere,
Ev'rybody's going there this year;
And there's a reason:
The season opened last July
Every since the U.S.A. went dry,
Ev'rybody's going there and I'm going too

[chorus]
I'm on my way to Cuba--there's where I'm going,
Cuba--there's where I'll stay,
Cuba--where wine is flowing
And where dark eyed Stellas
Light their fellers panatellas
Cuba--where all is happy,
Cuba--where all is gay;
why don't you plan a wonderful trip,
To Havana hop on a ship,
And I'll see you In C-U-B-A

[verse 2]
Take a friend's advice,
Drinking in a cellar isn't nice,
Anybody who has got the price;
should be a Cuban;
Have you been longing for the 'smile'
That you haven't had for quite a while,
If you have, then

[repeat chorus]
