The Peanut Vendor (Remastered)

The Peanut Vendor - Stan Kenton & His Orchestra

I Tampico Tampico on the Gulf of Mehico

Tampico Tampico down in Mehico

You buy a beautiful shawl

A souvenir for Aunt Flo

Authentic Mexican yarn

Made in Idaho

I Tampico Tampico on the Gulf of Mehico

Tampico Tampico down in Mehico

The senoritas they waive when you arrive at the dock

The native costumes they wear

Are slacks and bobby socks

I Tampico Tampico on the Gulf of Mehico

Tampico Tampico down in Mehico

You buy some pottery there

To beat the luxury tax

You find that when you get home

They sell it cheaper at Sachs

I Tampico Tampico on the Gulf of Mehico

Tampico Tampico down in Mehico

You ask a Mexican band

To play a rumba-down-dare

He turns and says to the boys

Hey fellas dig that square

I Tampico Tampico on the Gulf of Mehico

Tampico Tampico down in Mehico

Down in Mehico
