Goin' to Acapulco - Jim James/Calexico

I'm goin' down to Rose Marie's

She never does me wrong

She puts it to me plain as day

And gives it to me for a song

It's a wicked life but what the hell

Know that everybody got to eat

And I'm just the same as anyone else

When it comes to scratching for my meat

Goin' to Acapulco goin' on the run

Goin' down to see some girl

Goin' to have some fun yeah

Goin' to have some fun

Now whenever I get up

Can't find what I need

I just make it down to Rose Marie's

And get somethin' quick to eat

It's not about way to make a livin'

And I ain't complanin' none

But I can plough my plum and drink my rum

And then go on home and have my fun

Goin' to Acapulco goin' on the run

Goin' down to see some girl

Goin' to have some fun yeah

Goin' to have some fun

Now if someone offers me a joke

I just say "No thanks"

I try to tell it like it is

And keep away from pranks

Now every time you know when the well breaks down

I just go on and pump it some

Rose Marie she likes to go to big places

And just sit there waitin' for me to come

Goin' to Acapulco goin' on the run

Goin' down to see some girl

Goin' to have some fun yeah

Goin' to have some fun

Goin' to have some fun
