- words by albert gamse, music by irving fields- as recorded in new york november 15, 1946 by guy lombardo and his royal canadians


managua, nicaragua is a beautiful town
you buy a hacienda for a few pesos down
you give it to the lady you are tryin to win
but her papa doesnand't let you come in
managua, nicaragua is a heavenly place
you ask a señorita for a 'leetleand' embrace
she answers you,caramba! scram-ba bambarito
in managua, nicaragua, that
i have been to many tropic ports
i might include even brooklyn
if youand're ever feelin
out of sorts
i'd like to recommend a look in...managua, nicaragua,
what a wonderful spot
the coffee and bananas and a temperature hot
so take a trip and on a ship go sailing away
across the agua to managua, nicaragua, olé
olé, olé
across the agua to managua, nicaragua, olé

in managua, nicaragua,
every day is made for play and fun 'cause every day is fiesta
and they work from twelve o'clock to one
minus an hour for siesta
