Spent a week in Cozumel with good friends - drank a lot, laughed a lot and didn't want to return to the real world.

On the Caribbean side of the Yucatan
Lies a tropical isle named Cozumel
Where I'm baking in the sun with my toes in the sand

Mojito, Mojito The Caribbean way to go

Two Mojitos and I was dancing by the sea

Warm winds blow over Mexico
Time running out on this vacation

In a couple of days I'll be back in the States
Leaving the beaches and señoritas
But I can always return to this tropical place with a ...

Chorus X 2
La, la lala la la ...Mojito
