F♯You’re not supposed to go, they Bmsay

F♯They say that Cuba is the eBmnemy

EI’m going down there anAyway

Chorus

I’m going down to Cuba to see my friends

Down where the rhythm never ends

And no problem is too difficult to solve

Yeah times are tough down there it’s true

But you know they’re gonna make it through

They make such continuous use of the verb to resolve

Bridge

They’ve got to deal with that embargo

Enough to drive any country insane

They might not know the things you and I know

They do know what to do in a hurricane

Verse

Maybe I’ll go through Mexico

Old Jesse Helms don’t have to know

Anyway all the allies of the USA

Travel to Cuba everyday

Chorus

I’m going down to Cuba to see my friends

Down where the rhythm never ends

Where by comparison my trouble will just unravel

I’m North American, you know

Don’t like to hear where I can’t go

Free people will insist on the freedom to travel

Bridge

I’m gonna drink the running mojito

And walk out on the malecón

In one hand a monte cristo

And in the other an ice cream cone

Chorus

I’m going down to cuba with my band

We’re going to formulate a plan

Whereby we obtain that cultural delusion

If I told you once I told you thrice

It’ll put a smile on your face to see a Chevrolet with a soviet transmission

Verse

I bet the country cast a spell

And there are things I think of still

Like the beauty of that woman that spoke to me

In the hotel nacional

Verse

I’m gonna book my flight today

I’m definitely on my way

Just hold my place and I’ll get back in the race

And I’m back in the USA
