Managua, Nicaragua 
 - words by Albert Gamse, music by Irving Fields 
 - as recorded in New York November 15, 1946 by Guy Lombardo 
 and His Royal Canadians 

 Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town 
 You buy a hacienda for a few pesos down 
 You give it to the lady you are tryin' to win 
 But her papa doesn't let you come in 

 Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place 
 You ask a seorita for a 'leetle' embrace 
 She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito" 
 In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No" 

 I have been to many tropic ports 
 I might include even Brooklyn 
 If you're ever feelin' out of sorts 
 I'd like to recommend a look in... 

 Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot 
 There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot 
 So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away 
 Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol 
 Ol, ol 
 Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol

 Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town 
 You buy a hosienda for a few pesos down 
 You give it to the lady you are tryin' to win 
 But her papa doesn't let you come in 

 Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place 
 You ask a seorita for a 'leetle' embrace 
 She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito" 
 In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No" 

 Every day is made for play and fun 
 'Cause every day is fiesta 
 And they work from twelve o'clock to one 
 Minus an hour for siesta 

 Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot 
 There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot 
 So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away 
 Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, ol 
 Ol, ol
