BTW, is that revision the version in the movie Blue Skies? (yay for the Internet!). The one with this alternate second verse? Why don't you do your drinking like a Cuban, Instead of hiding in a cellar? Since Prohibition tell me pal, have you been A very frightened little feller? Why don't you pour it from the bottle, 'Stead of a tiny silver flask, Drink your Scotch, rum, and gin, Where the dries can get in, The finest bars are there, cigars are there, That only are made in Cuba. I'm not a drinking lady, I never smoked a Panatella But I'm a she who likes to be where all is gay, okay! So let us leave our cares and troubles behind And tell 'em our new address Is where they stay up late and drink till they're blind? Blind, but nevertheless They're glad to see you in C.U.B.A. Why don't you travel with us on a train or a bus To Miami where we can begin To plan a wonderful trip on a plane or a ship That'll take us from Florida to Havana? See you in C.U.B.A! Found those lyrics here
