[Bb]
Up here in the land of [F] the hot dog stands,
The Atom [Gm] Bombing for good human man.
We think [Ab] our South [A] American neighbors are dry,
And [F] we love them [Gb] to beat the band.
[F] [Eb] South America, bubble-oo, bubble-oo, aye-ee-ay -oo,
One favor you can do, aye-ee-ay, you can do,
[D] You beautiful lands below,
[Am] Don't know what [Db] you began,
To put it [E] plainly, I'm kinda shaken,
[Eb] To that Pan-American plan.
Take back your [Abm] samba, aye,
Your rumba, aye, [Bb] your conga,
[Ab] Aye-yai-yai, I can't keep moving, aye,
My chassis, aye, any longer,
Aye-yai-yai, Now [Ebm] maybe Latin's high,
[D] In their middles, [Eb] aye, I feel stronger,
[Ab] Aye-yai-yai, But [Eb] all is taken to the quaking,
[Ab] And this shaking [Bbm] leaves me aching,
[Db] Oh, hey, first shake around [Ab] and settle there,
Then you shake around and settle here,
Then you shake around and settle there.
That's enough, that's enough, take it [Db] back,
My spine's out of whack,
There's a strange [Gbm] click-clack,
In [F] the back of my
[Eb] sacroiliac.
Take back your [Ab] conga, aye,
Your samba, aye, [Eb] your rumba,
Aye-yai-yai, Why can't you send us, aye,
[Ab] A less strenuous [F] [Gb] number,
Aye [Ab]-yai-yai, I got [Ebm] more bumps now,
Aye, [D] than on a high [Eb] cucumber,
Aye [Ab]-yai-yai, While all those Latin drums are clopping,
[E] Like a jumping jack, I'm hopping [Fm] without stopping,
Oh, hey, [Ebm] South America, [Ab]
take [Db] it away.
[Abm] First you shake around and settle [Gbm]
there,
And [Ab] then you shake around and settle [Gb]
here,
[Db] And then you [Ab] shake around and settle there.
That's enough, that's enough, take it back,
My [F] spine's out of whack,
There's a strange click-clack,
In the back of my sacroiliac.
[Db] Oh, my aching [Ab] back, take back your conga,
Aye, your samba, aye, your rumba,
Aye-yai-yai, [Bb]
Bring back the old days, aye,
Of [Ab] dancing high, [Gb] remember,
Aye [Ab]-yai-yai, My [Ebm] hips are cracking, aye,
[D] And shrieking, aye,
[Gb] Caramba, aye [Ab]-yai-yai,
[Bb] I got a wrinkle and a diddle,
And [Ab] a jiggle like a fiddle in [Db] my middle,
Wally, his [Gb] hands are squishing in position,
[E] Where's all of my transmission [Db] ammunition?
[Ab] Wally!
I like naivety, relations, all this crazy,
New gyrations, try my [B] patience.
[C] Wally!
[Ebm] South America, take it away.
