From the sheet music at the University of Maine (I couldn't find a recording):


LET'S GO TO CUBA (BEFORE THEY DRINK THE DARN PLACE DRY)

1. Now, folks, if you feel blue,
And don't now what to do,
Don't try to put the blame on the weather.
If you've lost all ambition,
Or your health's in poor condition,
Don't think your life is wrecked altogether,
For I've a plan to bring back happiness.
Just join me on this trip, I suggest:

CHORUS: Let's go to Cuba; we'll enjoy the clime.
Weather there is fine.
Let's make a start today.
(Right away, don't delay!)
I'm sure we'll find lots of sugar; of course, that will be sweet,
But they have something else there will be more of a treat.
(So let's hurry!)
Just like the natives, we can shivaree,
Shake a wicked knee.
Our tickets quick we'd better try to buy.
I'll tell you why:
{This village has no fascination now for me,
Because you cannot make your shimmy shake on tea.}*
So let's go to Cuba before they drink the darn place dry.

2. Now I can understand
Why millions love this land.
Democracy and freedom's my hobby,
But since old prohibition
Rearranged that old condition,
Freedom's sadly missed by everybody.
The only way to fool them, I can see,
Is pack your grip and take a trip with me. CHORUS

* [On second chorus substitute these words:]
{Havana has a tonic that's so full of pep,
You take one little drink and then you watch your step.}
