What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Have you ever been down to Haiti
2
When the summer sun was sinkin' low
3
There's nothing but romance
4
Just everywhere you glance
5
And the native hearts are all aglow
6
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
7
They all stare like a statue out of stone
8
When they realize what's before their eyes the other girls are left all alone
9
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
10
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
11
And from miles away you can see her sway
12
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
13
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky
14
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb
15
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
16
Just to try to be like him
17
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
18
That makes a heart feel so sublime
19
And before too long he starts singing the song
20
And then he gets in the Conga line
21
Columbus searched for spices
22
But he missed the nicest part of the Caribbean
23
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
24
It was the gold that he was seein'
25
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
26
'Cause we're on our honeymoon
27
And I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
28
But you were five hundred years too soon
29
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
30
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
31
And from miles away you can see her sway
32
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
