Cabo Wabo Lyrics

I've been to Rome, Dallas, Texas
Man, I thought I'd seen it all, oh
Around the world, searchin' every corner
Man, I thought I'd hit the wall

There's a sleepy town as south of the border
If you go there once, you'll be there twice
Lots of pretty girls, coming by the dozens
The white sand sure makes a tan look nice

We can crash on the beach
You know I wanna make love in the sea
We gotta try a little dance, so Cabo Wabo
It's alright by me

Come on, let me take you down
I will show you around
Let me take you down
Face down in Cabo kissing the ground

Land's end, you have to see it
Ain't no picture ever say it right, oh
Walkin' the streets doing that ole, the Cabo Wabo
Place comes to life every night, oh

I wanna crash on the beach
You know I wanna make love in the sea
Yeah, it's all right there
We don't have to chase it, fits Paradise to a T

Come on, let me take you down
I will show you around
Let me take you down
Face down in Cabo kissing the ground

Oh hey, oh hey
We drink Mescal right from the bottle
Salt shaker, little lick a lime, oh
Throwin' down, down tryin' to reach the bottom
Where the guave worm, well he's mine, all mine

Come on, crash on the beach
You know I wanna make love in the sea, whoa
Go try a little dance, so Cabo Wabo
It's alright by me

Let me take you down
I will show you around
Let me take you down
Face down in Cabo kissing the ground

Face down (face down) down in Cabo
Take me down (take me down) down to Cabo
Face down (face down) down in Cabo
Doin' the Cabo Wabo
Take me down (take me down) down to Cabo
Wooh, come on, give it, give it, ow

Ah-hah, woo-hoo, ow, come on
