[00:00.000] 作词 : Mitchell Torok [00:01.000] 作曲 : Mitchell Torok [00:15.35]Have you ever been down to Haiti [00:18.43]When the summer sun was sinking low [00:21.08] [00:22.03]There's nothing but romance just every where you glance [00:25.78]And the native hearts are all aglow [00:27.94] [00:28.73]But when the Cuban queen comes upon the scene [00:32.02]They all stare like a statue out of stone [00:34.62] [00:35.51]When they realize what's before their eyes [00:38.85]The other girls are left all alone [00:41.26] [00:42.03]Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seeing [00:45.04]When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm [00:47.74] [00:48.61]And from miles away you can see her sway [00:51.52]To the beat of the Cuban conga line that forms [00:54.35] [00:55.23]Up in a tree so high way up in the sky [00:58.62]Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb [01:00.89] [01:01.86]He wonders why the people go to so much trouble [01:05.14]Just to try to be like him [01:07.73] [01:08.38]He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand [01:11.90]That makes a heart feel so sublime [01:14.29] [01:14.97]And before too long he starts singing the song [01:18.43]And then he gets in the conga line [01:20.96] [01:50.29]Columbus searched for spices [01:52.18]But he missed the nicest part of the Caribbean [01:55.81] [01:56.85]He didn't see the charms and the open arms [02:00.24]It was the gold that he was seeing [02:02.68] [02:03.56]But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed [02:07.20]'Cause we're on our honeymoon [02:10.25]I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this [02:13.53]But you were five hundred years too soon [02:16.31] [02:17.05]Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seeing [02:20.33]When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm [02:22.93] [02:23.70]And from miles away you can see her sway [02:27.04]To the beat of the Cuban conga line that forms [02:29.68] [02:30.44]Up in a tree so high way up in the sky [02:33.85]Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb [02:36.27] [02:37.24]He wonders why the people go to so much trouble [02:40.57]Just to try to be like him [02:43.10] [02:43.96]He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand [02:47.55]That makes a heart feel so sublime [02:49.83] [02:50.70]And before too long he starts singing the song [02:54.03]And then he gets in the conga line
