MANAGUA, NICARAGUA
words by Albert Gamse, music by Irving Fields
Freddy Martin, Guy Lombardo
Key: F
-3 3* -3 -3 3* 3* -3 -3-3 -3 -3* -3* -3*
Ma-na-gua, Ni-ca-ra-gua is a beau-ti-ful town
3 -2* 3 3 -2*-2* 3 3 -3 -3 -2 -2 -2
You buy a ha-ci-en-da for a few pe-sos down
-3 3* -3 -3 3* 3* -3 -3 -3 -3 -3* -3* -3*
You give it to the la-dy you are try-in' to win
4 1 1 2 3 -3* -3 -2 -2 -2
But her pa-pa does-n't let you come in
-3 3* -3 -3 3* 3* -3 -3-3 -3 -3*-3* -3*
Ma-na-gua, Ni-ca-ra-gua is a heav-en-ly place
3 -2* 3 3 -2*-2* 3 3 -3 -3 -2 -2 -2
You ask a sen-o-ri-ta for a 'leet-tle' em-brace
-3 3* -3 -3 3* 3* -3
She ans-wers you, "Car-am-ba!
-3 -3 -3 -3*-3*-3*
scram-ba bam-ba-ri-to"
4 1 1 2 3 -3* -3 -2 -2 -2
In Ma-na-gua, Ni-ca-ra-gua, that's "No"
-2 3 -3 -3* 4 -3* -5 4 -3*
I have been to man-y tro-pic ports
-2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3* -2
I might in-clude ev-en Brook-lyn
-2 3 -3-3* 4 -3* -5 4 -3*
If you're ev-er feel-in' out of sorts
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -5 4
I'd like to re-com-mend a look in...
-3 3* -3 -3 3* 3* -3 -3 -3 -3 -3* -3* -3*
Ma-na-gua, Ni-ca-ra-gua, what a won-der-ful spot
3 -2* 3 3 -2*-2* 3
There's cof-fee and ba-na-nas
3 -3 -3 -2 -2 -2
and a temp-’ra-ture hot
-3 3* -3 -3 3 3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3*-3*-3*
So take a trip and on a ship go sail-ing a-way
4 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 2
A-cross the a-gua to Ma-na-gua,
3 -3* -3 -2 -2 -2
Ni-ca-ra-gua, o-le.
REPEAT
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
