FUN IN ACAPULCO

(Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne) « © '63 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Holly Hill Music, ASCAP »
Acapulco sleeping in the bay Acapulco wake up and greet the day
Time to tell the guitars and sleepy-eyed stars to be on their way
It's such a beautiful morning for a holiday

Hey now come on you old sleepy head
See the sky turning red and you're still in bed
It's fun in Acapulco

Acapulco look here comes the sun Acapulco it's a day for fun
I can't wait till I meet your sweet senoritas kiss everyone
This is no time for siesta this is time for fun

I can't wait till I meet your sweet senoritas kiss everyone
This is no time for siesta this is time for fun
[ trumpet ] I can't wait till I meet...
This is no time for siesta this is time for fun
This is no time for siesta this is time for fun
This is no time for siesta this is time for fun

VINO DINERO Y AMOR

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '63 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
(Viva el vino viva el dinero Viva Viva) El amor

I like to drink wine and money is fine but I like the girls even more
Viva el vino viva el dinero viva viva el amor

Some pesos you pass put wine in her glass and soon she will say si senor
Viva el vino viva el dinero viva viva el amor

With wine on your lips and money in your pocket
And your sweetheart in your arms you're rich as you can be
So lift up your glass let's sing it all together
Muchachas caballeros make this toast with me

We'll drink one more time with money and wine
Let's drink to the girls we adore
Viva el vino viva el dinero viva viva el amor
[ trumpet ] Sing one more time money and wine let's sing to the girls we adore
(Viva el vino viva el dinero viva viva) El amor

EL TORO

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
There's a legend of a famous matador who went to meet El Toro
Though he fought as he had never done before he could not beat El Toro
The bull El Toro brought him defeat and pain
And to his sorrow the matador knew shame

They said time would never heal the many scars brought by the great El Toro
And the bitterness that burned deep in his heart caused him to hate El Toro
The bull El Toro brought him defeat and pain
And to his sorrow the matador knew shame

So one night when no one was on sight
The matador went to settle the score
In the lonely fields beneath the pale moonlight
He saw the bull and they fought once more

When they found the matador and saw him dying he'd never see tomorrow
Now they say that on the spot where he was lying still walks the proud El Toro
The bull El Toro brought him defeat and pain
And to his sorrow the matador knew shame

MARGUERITA

(Don Robertson) « © '63 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
Who makes my heart beat like thunder
Who makes my temperature rise
Who makes me tremble with wonderful rapture
With one burning glance from her eyes
Marguerita

Once I was free as a gypsy a creature too wild to tame
Then suddenly I saw Marguerita and I was caught like a moth in the flame
Marguerita is her name Marguerita

Her lips have made me her prisoner a slave to her every command
she captivates me and intoxicates me with one little touch of her hand
Marguerita
Sweet Marguerita sweet sweet Marguerita uh uh huh hmm

BULLFIGHTER WAS A LADY

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '63 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Pedro the bull was a killer king of the bullfighter ringer
He'd wipe up the floor with each brave matador
And have matador stew for his dinner
He heard the crowd shouting ole
But he met his master that day

The bullfighter was a lady and it was true love at first sight
Her red cape was waving but Pedro was shaving
He wanted to date her that night (ole)

Pedro the bull he was smitten first time the love bug had bitten
He once was a mad bull a wild and a bad bull but now he was mild as a kitten
The people were starting to hiss but Pedro just wanted to kiss


The bullfighter was a lady and Pedro he liked what he saw
He floated on air with a rose in his hair
As he waltzed with that sweet matador
His fate was a bad one his tale is a sad one
It's hanging right over her door

(THERE'S) NO ROOM TO RHUMBA IN A SPORTS CAR

(Fred Wise - Dick Manning) « © '63 Erika Publishing, ASCAP / Gladys Music, ASCAP »
This was gonna be the night tonight
I was gonna get to hold you tight
But I guess we didn't plan it right
I never stood a chance we couldn't dance

Cause there's no room to rhumba in a sports car
You can't move forward or back
There's no room to do what the beat tells you to
Without throwing your spine out of wack

When a little kiss I want to steal
I hit my head against the steering wheel
Now I know the way a pretzel feels
All I can do is shout hey let me out

Cause there's no room to rhumba in a sports car...

What a way to waste a day with you
Nothing happens that can tell the truth
Let's go out and find a telephone booth
Yeah that's a better place I like more space

Because there's no room to rhumba in a sports car...

I THINK I'M GONNA LIKE IT HERE

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair) « © '63 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP / Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
No one's in a hurry no one seems to worry
Why they're all so happy is very clear
Every day siesta every night fiesta
I think I'm gonna like it here

All this lovely scenery there's more to it than greenery
I know a chance for romance is always near
Mission bells are ringing everybody's singing
I think I'm gonna like it hear

The sound of laughter from every doorway
Sweet music floating across the square
It seems to say things are going better
Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air

Down to my last peso but I'm not afraid to say so
I feel just like a brave Spanish cavalier
I don't care where we go so lead on mi amigo
I think I'm gonna like it here

Melodias lapieras
Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air

Down to my last peso...
I think I'm gonna like it here I think I'm gonna like it here

BOSSA NOVA BABY

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller) « © '63 Jerry Leiber Music, ASCAP / Mike Stoller Music, ASCAP »
I said take it easy baby I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails flyin' all over the place and the sweat poppin' out of my head
She said hey bossa nova baby keep on a workin' child this ain't no time to quit
She said go bossa nova baby keep on dancin' I'm about to have myself a fit
(Bossa nova bossa nova)

I said hey little mama let's sit down have a drink and dig the band
She said drink drink drink oh fiddle-de-dink I can dance with a drink in my hand
She said hey bossa nova baby keep on workin' this ain't no time to drink
he said go bossa nova baby keep on dancin' cause I ain't got time to think
(Bossa nova bossa nova)
[ trumpet - guitar ] I said come on baby it's hot in here and it's oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar I can buy some gas and we can go for a little ride
She said hey bossa nova baby keep on workin' for I ain't got time for that
She said go bossa nova baby keep on dancin' or I'll find myself another cat
(Bossa nova bossa nova)
Bossa nova bossa nova bossa nova bossa nova

YOU CAN'T SAY NO IN ACAPULCO

(Dolores Fuller - Sid Fuller - Lee Morris) « © '63 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI / Bienstock Publishing, ASCAP »
You can't say no in Acapulco with every beat your heart will answer yes
Where lovers sing instead of talk and dance instead of walk together
In a night that's filled with stars and strumming guitars

You can't say no in Acapulco where romance blooms and love is in the air
So kiss me tender love me true darling feel this magic too
Don't say no you can't say no in Acapulco

You can't say no in Acapulco where romance blooms...
Don't say no you can't say no in Acapulco

GUADALAJARA

(Jose Guizar) « © '63 Peer International, BMI »
Guadalajara Guadalajara Guadalajara Guadalajara
Tienes el alma de provinciana hueles a limpio a rosa temprana
Aver de jara fresca del rio son mil palomos to case rio
Guadalajara Guadalajara sabes a pura tierra mojara
(Ay ja ja ay ja ja aj ja ja ay ja ja

Aj colomitos lejanos aj ojitos de agua hermanos
Ay colomitos i nol vidables i nol vidables como las tardes
En que la lluvia des de la loma ir nos hacia hasta Zapopam
(Ay ja ja ay ja ja aj ja ja ay ja ja)

Ay misermano ay ja ja Mexicano
Ay colomitos i nol vidables i nol vidables como las tardes
En que la lluvia des de la loma ir nos hacia hasta Zapopam
(Ay ja ja ay ja ja aj ja ja ay ja ja)

LOVE ME TONIGHT

(Don Robertson) « © '63 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
May this tenderness cling when the fire of spring is a memory
May you still be my own when a hundred years have flown
But if it can't be give this moment to me while our dream is bright
Put your sweet arms around me and love me tonight

Love me tonight let me feel your lips on mine
And though I pray forever and a day I'll be possessing you
I'll confess to you
If I knew that our love would be gone with the stars in the dawn's grey light
I'd still hold you close and whisper love me tonight

SLOWLY BUT SURELY

(Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne) « © '63 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Holly Hill Music, ASCAP »
Slowly but surely I'm gonna wear you down
Slowly but surely I'm gonna bring you round
To my way of thinkin' my way of kissin' my way of lovin'
Slowly but surely I'm gonna make you mine

I ain't gonna rush you I'll let you meditate
Though I wanna crush you my arms will have to wait
I'll just take it easy so nice and easy real cool and breezy
Slowly but surely I'm gonna make you mine

Oh yeh hmm I've got a feeling I'm not wasting my time
Oh yeh when you get the message it's gonna be fine

Slowly but surely the table's gonna turn
Slowly but surely your lips are gonna burn
For what you've been missin' is my kind of kissin' my kind of lovin'
Slowly but surely I'm gonna make you mine

Oh yeah hmm I've got a feeling...
Slowly but surely the table's gonna turn...
I'm gonna make a you mine I'm gonna make a you mine
