This makin' a livin' is k**in' me I work like a dog in this hot factory Can't even afford a vacation when i've got the time But i've got road maps of mexico Brochures and pictures of places to go Dreamin' in color. livin' in black and white (chorus) I can drink margaritas with sweet senoritas Work on my tropical tan Dangle my feet in the crystal blue water Lay in the snow white sand I've never been down to mexico But i'm gonna go there tonight I'm dreaming in color. livin' in black and white I'd like to buy a new cadillac Build me a house with a pool out back And eat at the country club every saturday night But there ain't much pay in my ol' paycheck But i'll win the lotto one day i bet Dreamin' in color, livin in black and white (repeat chorus) I'm dreamin' in color, livin in black and white
