VERSE ONE: Not So Far From Here There's a very lively atmosphere Everybody's going there this year, And there's a reason, the season Opened last July, Ever Since the U.S.A. went dry, Everybody's going there and I'm going too. REFRAIN: I'm on my way to Cuba, That's where I'm going, Cuba, that's where I'll stay. Cuba, where wine is flowing, And where dark-eyed Stellas Light their feller's 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 C-U-B-A. VERSE TWO: 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.
