Me and Martha took a honeymoon
Below the border 'neath the silvery moon
She was eighteen and I was twenty-two
Now we're just a-doin' what the young folks do
We're goin' south to get that Acapulco Gold
Ain't nothin' it can't fix
Old dogs can learn new tricks
When the streets are lined with bricks of Acapulco Gold
We 'bout decided against the whole thing
But then we thought that we ought to swing
Figured that the southland held the keys
To cure these cotton pickin' sniffles and sneeze
We're goin' south to get that Acapulco Gold
Ain't nothin' it can't fix
Old dogs can learn new tricks
When the streets are lined with bricks of Acapulco Gold
Zig zag pottum wottum diddum woddum doo
Hey diddle diddle twenty three skidoo
Me and Martha sure had fun
Acapulco Gold for everyone
We're goin' south to get that Acapulco Gold
Ain't nothin' it can't fix
Old dogs can learn new tricks
When the streets are lined with bricks of Acapulco Gold
