I Tampico, tampico, On the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, tampico, Down in mexico
You buy a beautiful shawl
A souvenir for aunt Flo
Authentic Mexican yarn
Made in Idaho
I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico, down Mexico
The senoritas, they waive, when you arrive at the dock
The native costumes they wear
Are slacks and bobby socks
I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico
You buy some pottery
there to beat the luxury tax
You find that when you get home
They sell it cheaper at Sachs
I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico
You ask Mexican band
To play a rumba-down-dare
He turns and says the boys
Hey,
fellas,
dig
that
square!
I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico
Down in Mexico
