Gene Mitchell Love in the Tropics lyrics

Verse 1
I remember those old time movies
South Pacific and Key Largo
Mutiny on the Bounty, once in Tahiti
Those sailors they didn't want to go
Elvis, in Blue Hawaii, back then
He could really rock it
In all of those old time movies
There was a girl and a boy
And the main theme was, love in the tropics

Verse 2
You can fly to the Virgin Islands
Or vacation on Grand Cayman
If you're looking for romance in Jamaica
They say, "No problem Mon"
The rhythms of Puerto Rico
Get you moving, you just can't stop it
Boy meets girl, girl dances with boy
In the heat of the night, love in the tropics

Instrumental


Bridge
Love in the tropics
You meet someone you give it a shot
When it's love in the tropics
It's sure to be extra hot, hot, hot

Verse 3
Today there are cruise ships sailing
To those southern seas
All inclusive resorts and tours that take you
To where there are palm trees
Whether taking a lover or going alone
With a little cash in your pocket
That tropical heat and island music
Always gets you in the mood for, love in the tropics
Tag
Love in the tropics (hot, hot, hot)
Love in the tropics (give it a shot)
Love in the tropics (so hot, hot, hot)
Love in the tropics
