I'll See You In C-U-B-A 1920

Not so far from here,
there's a very lively atmosphere,
ev'rybody's going there this year;
and there's a reason:
The season opened last July,
ever since the U.S.A. went dry,
ev'rybody's going there and I'm going too.
I'm on my way to

Cuba
there's where I'm going,
Cuba
there's where I'll stay.
Cuba
where wine is flowing
and where dark eyed Stellas
light their fellers panatellas.
Cuba
where all is happy,
Cuba where all is gay;
why don't you plan a wonderful trip,
to Havana
hop on a ship,
and I'll see you in CUBA.

Cuba
there's where I'm going,
Cuba
there's where I'll stay.
Cuba
where wine is flowing
and where dark eyed Stellas
light their fellers panatellas.
Cuba
where all is happy,
Cuba where all is gay;
why don't you plan a wonderful trip,
to Havana
hop on a ship,
and I'll see you in CUBA.

Take a friend's advice,
drinking in a cellar isn't nice,
anybody who has got the price;
should be a Cuban:
Have you been longing for the smile
that you haven't had for quite a while,
if you have, then follow me
and I'll show the way.

I'm on my way to

Cuba
there's where I'm going,
Cuba
there's where I'll stay.
Cuba
where wine is flowing
and where dark eyed Stellas
light their fellers panatellas.
Cuba
where all is happy,
Cuba where all is gay;
why don't you plan a wonderful trip,
to Havana
hop on a ship,
and I'll see you in CUBA.

Cuba
there's where I'm going,
Cuba
there's where I'll stay.
Cuba
where wine is flowing
and where dark eyed Stellas
light their fellers panatellas.
Cuba
where all is happy,
Cuba where all is gay;
why don't you plan a wonderful trip,
to Havana
hop on a ship,
and I'll see you in CUBA.
