CARIBBEAN
Written by Mitchell Torok

Oh have you ever been down to Haiti
When the summer sun is sinking low
There's nothing but romance
Just everywhere you glance
And the native hearts are all aglow
But when the Cuban queen comes upon the scene
They all stare like a statue made of stone
When they realize what's before their eyes
The other girls are left all alone

CHORUS:
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
And from miles away you can see them sway
To the beat of the Cuban conga line that forms

Up in a tree so high way up in the sky
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
Trying to be like him
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
Makes the heart beat so sublime
But before too long he starts to sing their song
And then he gets in the conga line

REPEAT CHORUS:

Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
Part of the Caribbean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms,
It was the gold that he was seeing
I'm so glad he missed he sweetest thing I've kissed
Cause we're on our honeymoon
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
But you were five hundred years too soon
