Hank Snow - Panamama Lyrics
Words by Frank TeamMusic by Hank Snow and Stu DavisI 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.CHORUSIn 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.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; I live just for tonight.I take her in my arms beneath the beautiful palms, and it's heaven when I hold her tight.CHORUSI'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 peeper pot from down old Panama to catch a feller from Tennessee.CHORUS
