lyrics

The hammock is swinging, the urracas are singing,
the monkeys are howling, and so is my heart.
I got a girl in my arms, a map in my pocket,
and a plan in my head that I can't wait to start.

Last night was odd, we almost got robbed
by a guy with a ski mask and a big ol' machete.
The dog and the guard chased him through the backyard.
He got away, but his pockets were empty.

Now this old Irish skinhead is talking 'bout justice
with a voice like straight whisky and caned cigarettes.
He pulls out what he calls “me stabbing machete”
and says, “If I catch that bastard, I'll poke him to death!”

Como estamos? Deacachimba, deacachimba my girl.
Adonde vamos? Grenada, Managua, then when will I see you?
When will I see you my girl?

Jimmy Joe's in the kitchen cooking horse tranquilizers.
He falls on his face after five or six lines.
Emma, oh Emma, thank God you're a doctor.
You saved his life, did you know you saved mine?

We helped the bartender carry Jim to his bedroom.
The bartender said, “You know, I like you guys.”
Then he ran to the bar and pulled out some scratch paper
and drew us a map to his own paradise.

He said, “This little island is our little secret.
More lobsters and coconuts than you two could eat.”
He put the map in my pocket and he pointed upstairs,
said, “There's a hammock up there if you guys wanna sleep.”

Como estamos? Deacachimba, deacachimba my girl.
Adonde vamos? Grenada, Managua, then when will I see you?
When will I see you my girl?

The hammock is swinging, the orracas are singing,
the monkeys are howling and so is my heart.
I've got a girl in my arms, a map in my pocket,
and a plan in my head that I can't wait to start.

Beauty's that line right between peace and chaos,
her eyelashes rising as slow as the sun.
She's got a boy in her arms and a smile that tells him
a brand new beginning's already begun.

Como estamos? Deacachimba, deacachimba my girl.
Adonde vamos? Grenada, Managua, then when will I see you?
When will I see you?

Como estamos? Deacachimba, deacachimba my girl.
Adonde vamos? Grenada, Managua, then when will I see you?
When will I see you my girl?
