[Verse 1]
2
Oleana, via Del Norte, O Canada
3
It was snowtime, it was showtime, it was no time
4
To be lost in downtown Toronto
5
It was wintertime, "˜round dinnertime
6
I'm beginning to see that the sunshine just doesn't want to
7
From a side street come a backbeat
8
Pulling on me like the moon pullin' on the tide
9
Ay caramba, one-note samba, la la la la bamba
10
Lighting me up inside
11
[Chorus]
12
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
13
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
14
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
15
And every note was the antidote to December
16
[Verse 2]
17
My first impression, some kind of procession
18
Pulling on a long line of fancy dancers
19
A band stuck up on a flatbed truck
20
They were raising a ruckus swinging for the fences
21
Exiled Mexican textile working
22
Punching two clocks, sending two paychecks home boys
23
Hard working law "˜biding bus riding people
24
Celebration on wheels destination unknown
25
[Chorus]
26
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
27
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
28
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
29
And every note was the antidote to December
30
[Verse 3]
31
Rio Grande
32
Oleana
33
Via Del Norte
34
Oh Canada
35
There was a lifeline south in the song coming from her mouth
36
It swallowed me up and I followed it on downtown
37
In the light of dawn the message that life goes on
38
For the frozen man an invitation to live again
39
[Chorus]
40
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
41
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
42
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
43
And every note was the antidote to December
44
[Verse 4]
45
They were shakin' it loose with the juice from the mambo man
46
Long lanky Yankee boy, Buckwheat and Spanky my my
47
Santiago de Cuba
48
Belo Horizonte
49
Cartagena
50
Guaguancó Canada
