Lyrics
Chorus
It will never be dry down in Havana
No matter what happens ’round here
Down in Santiago Bay
Where the Senoritas sway
“How dry I am” is a tune they never play
Tho’ they talk Spanish in Havana
Don’t worry, there’s nothing to fear
“Ya ka hula Cubanola” I have lately found
Is the way to say
“Hey waiter, bring another round”
It will never be dry down in Havana
No matter what happens ’round here
Chorus
It will never be dry down in Havana
No matter what happens ’round here
I’m as thirsty as can be, prohibition ruined me
You know you can’t make your shimmie shake on tea
They don’t keep Bevo in Havana
And they never heard of Near Beer
But the private stock they sell
Will knock you off your feet
One drink makes a rabbit
Chase a bulldog up the street
It will never be dry down in Havana
No matter what happens ’round here
