Hank Snow - Panamama lyrics

I went to Panama To find out why it's called the tropic zone The senoritas there had so much charm They could even melt a heart of stone A hot tamale gal she flashed me a smile And I lost my heart right then I thought I'd only stay down there for a day Now I think I'll never leave again In Panama those Panamamas They live the life of a beautiful dream Your life's a waste until you get a taste of the thrill That you get from a tropical queen [ guitar ] Now kindly get me straight I think they're great Those gals from Tennessee But when they say si si in Panama Then the trill is really different to me Manana never comes down there They live just for tonight I take her in my arms beneath the beautiful palms And it's heaven when I hold her tight [ guitar ] I'm making memories on balconies Sombreros they fit me fine I know that pretty soon I'll honeymoon With that sweet chiquita of mine Out on the edge of town we're gonna settle down How happy we're gonna be It takes a pepper pot from down old Panama To catch a feller from Tennessee In Panama those Panamamas...
