Cuba
Tony Evans And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 USA went dry,
Everybody's going there and I'm going too!
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 fella'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.
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 a smile
That you haven't had for quite a while?
If you have, then follow me and I'll
Show the way!
Come on along 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 fella's panatellas.
Cuba, where all is happy,
Cuba, where all is gay!
With so much scotch and rye on the table,
I'll drink till I won't be able
To see you in C-U-B-A!
The lyrics to Tony Evans & His Orchestra's song 'Cuba' describe a lively and happy atmosphere that can be found in Cuba. The song is essentially an invitation for the listener to join the singer in visiting Cuba, where there is plenty of wine and good times to be had. The lyrics highlight the fact that people are flocking to Cuba, particularly since the USA has gone dry. The song also speaks to the fact that drinking in a cellar is not a pleasant experience and that anyone who can afford it should visit Cuba instead.
The lyrics contain plenty of vivid imagery, from the flowing wine to the dark-eyed women who light their men's cigars. There is an emphasis on happiness and fun, and the song encourages the listener to leave their cares behind and come to Cuba. While the song was likely written in the early 20th century when Cuba was a popular destination for tourists, it continues to have a timeless quality that makes it appealing to contemporary listeners.
