Down to the Banana Republic Down to the tropical sun Go the expatriated Americans Hoping to find some fun
Some of them go for the sailn' Called by the lure of the sea Trying to find what is ailing From living in the land of the free
Some of them are running from lovers Leaving no forward address Some of them are running tons of ganga Some are running from the IRS
And late at night you will find them In the cheap hotels & bars Hustling the senoritas while they dance beneath the stars
Spending those renegade pesos On a bottle of rum & a lime Singing, give me some words I can dance to Or a melody that rhymes
First you learn the native customs Soon a word of Spanish or two But you know that you cannot trust them Cause they know they can't trust you
Expatriated Americans feeling so all alone Telling themselves the same lies That they told themselves back home Down to the Banana Republic things aren't as warm as they seem When none of the natives are buying any second hand American dreams
