Managua, Nicaragua

- words by Albert Gamse, music by Irving Fields

- as recorded in New York November 15, 1946 by Guy Lombardo

and His Royal Canadians



Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town

You buy a hacienda for a few pesos down

You give it to the lady you are tryin' to win

But her papa doesn't let you come in



Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place

You ask a señorita for a 'leetle' embrace

She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito"

In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No"



I have been to many tropic ports

I might include even Brooklyn

If you're ever feelin' out of sorts

I'd like to recommend a look in...



Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot

There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot

So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away

Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, olé

Olé, olé

Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, olé

She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito"

In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No"



Every day is made for play and fun

'Cause every day is fiesta

And they work from twelve o'clock to one

Minus an hour for siesta
