This makin' a livin' is killin' 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



I can drink margaritas with sweet senoritas

Work on my tropical tan

Dangle my feet in the crystal blue waters

Lay in the snow white sand

I've never been down to Mexico

But I'm gonna go there tonight

I'm dreamin' 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



I can drink margaritas with sweet senoritas

Work on my tropical tan

Dangle my feet in the crystal blue waters

Lay in the snow white sand

Well I've never been down to Mexico

But I'm gonna go there tonight

I'm dreamin' in color, livin' in black and white

Oooh, I'm dreamin' in color, livin' in black and white
