me and martha took a honeymoon
below the border ‘neath the silvery moon
she was eighteen and i was twentytwo
now we’re just adoin’ what the young folks do
we’re goin’ south south
to get that acapulco gold
ain’t nothin’ it can’t fix can’t fix
old dogs can learn new tricks new tricks
when the streets are lined with bricks
of acapulco gold
we ’bout decided against the whole thing
but then we thought that we ought to swing
thinkin’ that the southland held the keys
to cure these cottonpickin’ sniffles and sneeze
we’re goin’ south south
to get that acapulco gold
ain’t nothin’ it can’t fix can’t fix
old dogs can learn new tricks new tricks
when the streets are lined with bricks
of acapulco gold
zig zag polly wolly diddum woddum doo
hey diddle diddle twentythreeskiddo
me and martha sure had fun
acapulco gold for everyone
we’re goin’ south south
to get that acapulco gold
ain’t nothin’ it can’t fix can’t fix
old dogs can learn new tricks new tricks
when the streets are lined with bricks
of acapulco gold
even a matchbox five cents
