Mexican Hat Dance lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Mexican Hat Dance lyrics +Mexican Hat Dance Oh Americans dance on a dance floor. And the Spaniards, they dance on a table. And the Russians, they dance on a saber. But the Mexicans dance on their hats. Oh they dance on hot coals in Calcutta. In Wisconsin they dance on fresh butta, Which they squeeze from one cow or anutta. Yes, the Mexicans dance on their hats. (Ole!) There are Mexicans dancing on derbies. There are Mexicans dancing on caps. They just throw their fedoras Wherever the floor is, And start doing horas and taps.    They won t quit!  They go on!    It s a Mexicn custom,    To take hats and bust em,    By doing a dance thereupon. Oh the reason they shot Pancho Villa Was he danced on his mother s mantilla. And the message did not reach Garcia. He was out somewhere dancing on hats. (Ole!) There s a fellow in West Acapulco, The most elegant man you could meet. He does sambas on hombergs To tunes of Sig Romberg s, And sometimes the Nutcracker Suite.    So take care!  So beware!    Or they ll put castanets on    And ruin your Stetson,    Cause they all think they re Fred Astaire! If you re ever in Mexico proper, And you re wearing a straw hat or topper, When the band starts to play, call a copper, Cause by now you should know That they ll grab your chapeau, And they ll stomp till it s flat, And that s that! That s what Mexicans do on your hat. (Ole!) song lyrics
