Tampico

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico

Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico

You buy a beautiful shawl

A souvenir for Aunt Flo

Authentic Mexican art

Made in Idaho

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico

Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico

The señorita's, they wave when you arrive at the dock

The native costumes they wear

Are slacks and bobby socks

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico

Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico

You buy some pottery there

To beat the luxury tax

You find that when you get home

They sell it cheaper at Sachs

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico

Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico

You ask a Mexican band

To play a rumba down dare

He turns and says to the boys

"Hey, fellas, dig that square"

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico

Tampico, Tampico, down in Mexico

Down in Mexico
