Linda Eder Havana Lyrics

Havana Lyrics

Tropic days turn into steamy nights
Stateside ways give in to
appetites
Panatelas under white straw hats
Sit and soak, Rum and
Coke

Cuban rhythms push the night along
Past the limits of what's
right or wrong
Hardly anyone is keepin' score
Let it ride, por
favor

Love is the one legal tender
Never in short supply
Just find
yourself a big spender
Who will render the gender you'd like to
try

Big casinos under Latin skies
Valentinos with ambitious
eyes
Slow degrees of lady Fahrenheit
Cook the day, eat the
night

Smell the money when the trade winds blow
Play the slot
machines, enjoy the show
Spin the wheel or maybe roll the dice
Welcome to
Paradise

Too much is never enough here
There's always room for
more
One of a kind calls your bluff here
If your pair isn't brass better
pass Senor

Twenty-three or so degrees
Just below the Florida
keys
All the tourists come to play
Making mucho machismo like
Hemingway

Inhibitions simply melt away
Dispositions will improve,
they say
Maybe it's the voodoo latitude
Gives the place
attitude

Way down here we have no rules to keep
Way down here we
always oversleep
Way down here we mambo all night long
Through the
street, through the heat
To the beat of old Havana
