Goin' To Acapulco

(album: The Basement Tapes - 1975)

I'm going down to Rose Marie's
She never does me wrong
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song.

It's a wicked life but what the hell
The stars ain't falling down.
I'm standing outside the Taj Mahal
I don't see no one around.

Going to Acapulco
Going on the run
Going down to see fat gut
Going to have some fun.
Yeah
Going to have some fun.

Now, whenever I get up
And I ain't got what I see
I just make it down to Rose Marie's
Bout a quarter after three.

There are worse ways of getting there
And I ain't complaining none
If the clouds don't drop and the train
don't stop
I'm bound to meet the sun.

Going to Acapulco
Going on the run
Going down to see some girl
Going to have some fun.
Yeah
Going to have some fun.

Now, if someone offers me a joke,
I just say no thanks
I try to tell it like it is
And keep away from pranks.
Well, sometime you know when the well
breaks down
I just go on pump it some.
Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places
And just sit there waiting for me to come.

Going to Acapulco
Going on the run
Going down to see some girl
Going to have some fun.
Yeah
Going to have some fun.
