Align:    
  • By: steve goodman, jim rothermel, steve burgh
  • 1977
  • Down to the banana republics, down to the tropical sun
  • Go the expatriated americans, hopin to find some fun
  • Some of them go for the sailing, caught by the lure of the sea
  • Tryin to find what is ailing, livin in the land of the free
  • Some of them are running from lovers, leaving no foreward address
  • Some of them are running tons of ganja
  • Some are running from the i.r.s.
  • Chorus:
  • Late at night you will find them
  • In the cheap hotels and bars
  • Hustling the senioritas while they dance beneath the stars
  • Spending those renegade pesos on a bottle of rum and a lime
  • Singin give me some words I can dance to
  • Or a melody that rhymes
  • First you learn the native customs
  • Soon a word of spanish or two
  • You know that you cannot trust them
  • cause they know they cant trust you
  • Expatriated americans feelin so all alone
  • Telling themselves the same lies
  • That they told themselves back home
  • Down to the banana republics, things arent as warm as they seem
  • None of the natives are buying any second-hand american dreams
  • Chorus:
  • Late at night you will find them
  • In the cheap hotels and bars
  • Hustling the senioritas while they dance beneath the stars
  • Spending those renegade pesos on a bottle of rum and a lime
  • Singin give me some words I can dance to
  • Or a melody that rhymes
  • Down to the banana republics, down to the tropical sun
  • Go the expatriated americans hopin to find some fun
