The Hawana Way by Paul Brady Lyrics

I was down in a hole snufflin' like a mole
When my friend on the phone told me it's ok
There's a place you can be, the music sets you free
Come on over and we'll do it the Hawana way

Carlos Varela, Chu Chu Valdes
Muñequitos de Matanzas, Benny Mmoré
Yeah, Reuben Gonzales, what can I say?
Hey! Barbarito Torres!!

If your mind is a mess, your body's in distress
Catch your sorry soul a rest the Hawana way
Throw your future to the wind
You'll find it's no sin
Start a new way of living the Hawana way

So I did like she said, threw my suitcase on the bed
Packed my Rennies, Pepto-Bismol, Paracetamol
And I'm feelin' no pain on some funky Russian plane
Headin' down the Caribbean to forget it all
'55 Chevvies, '65 Fords
Coffee skinned chicas on the Malecon
Mojitos, Habaños... Apagon!!!
Hey coco taxi, hang on!

If your mind is a mess, your body's in distress
Catch your sorry soul a rest the Hawana way
Throw your future to the wind
You'll find it's no sin
Start a new way of living the Hawana way

Gimme one more day
Babe I gotta stay
Hear that music play
The Hawana way
Hawana way
