It is my esteemed pleasure to now call once again on the professor of danceology at the
University of Margaritaville, the Cancun branch.
We're taking you down there.
It's time to baila todo en noche.
We're going to do the desperation samba.
Halloween's coming up.
Let's rock.
Johnny!

[Am] I want to see some moving [A] below the waist out there, all right?

[Am] [G]
[Am] Halloween in Tijuana, [G] full moon in [Am] my eyes.
Wonder how in the hell I got there [G] without a [Am] hitch-hike.
Do I trust my instincts [G] or turn myself [Am] around?
I follow my intuition [G] to that border [Am] town.
Here we go!
