Cozumel in the falling rain
People looking at me like I'm insane
I'm just alleviating pain, I can't stop groovin'
Cozumel got me up so high
Mexicali ladies so sweet and sly
What a way to do some time, I can't stop groovin'
And you can dance, you can dance so fine
We can drink, we can drink that wine
And I can get so high
Oh, mama, why can't you?
Oh, mama, why can't you?
And every night in a seaside bar
Spanish songs on a cheap guitar
Old man with a card game on the corner
Cozumel, she don't make me pay
I drink a couple Cervezas, be on my way
I only wish that I could stay, I can't stop groovin'
And you can dance, you can dance so fine
We can drink, we can drink that wine
And I can get so high
Oh, mama, why can't you?
Oh, mama, why can't you?
