Lyrics

"Tarantula City"

(Verse 1)
Located halfway in between
Acapulco and Cancun
Your cruise ship's tied up to the dock
But embarking very soon

(Verse 2)
Corona and Modello
And Dos Equis are the brews
Puerto Vallarta
Destination of your cruise

(Chorus)
Tarantula City
Down in Mexico
Senoritas very pretty
And avocados grow

50 weeks you work each year
For 2 weeks of holiday
It's safe to drink the water
If you buy it from Jose

(Verse 3)
Do not play with the coyote
Or step on scorpion
You'll need more than Aloe Vera
If Gila Monster bite your thumb

(Verse 4)
Before and after siesta
You can laugh and sing and play
You'll never see La Cucaracha
The roaches ran them all away

(Chorus)
Tarantula City
Down in Mexico
Senoritas very pretty
And avocados grow

50 weeks you work each year
For 2 weeks of holiday
It's safe to drink the water
If you buy it from Jose

(Bridge)
There are no great big furry spiders
Down in Mexico
Fourteen days in paradise
Will be gone before you know

(Chorus)
Tarantula City
Down in Mexico
Senoritas very pretty
And avocados grow

50 weeks you work each year
For 2 weeks of holiday
It's safe to drink the water
If you buy it from Jose

It's safe to drink the water
If you buy it from Jose

It's safe to drink the water
Buy from me--I am Jose
