lyrics

1.Carmelita, none of us had met her
Till the day we went on tour
;Cause she said ‘I’m looking for adventure
Even if the money’s not sure
Even if the money’s not sure

Carmelita Carmelita
Plays the slide trombone
Carmelita come and see her
Playing the double saxophone

2.Carmelita lit up all the stages
When she wiggled, giggled like a child
When she played and shook her blonde dreadlocks
Drove the audiences wild

3. Carmelita hit the bars in Europe
On her shoulder slung her horn
Belgium, Holland, Denmark and The Faroes
Partied every night till dawn

4. Carmelita came and saw and conquered
Carmelita went back home
Now she’s gigging round the South Island
Sends us texts on her cell-phone

Montuno:
Carmelita
You’re a star
Muy bonita
Wunderbar
