[ANDY]
Can-do, needs a rudder, a map, two sheets in the wind...

[ANN]
Andy you’re beautiful!

[ANDY]
A PIECE OF BROOMSTICK HERE
A HUNK OF STOVEPIPE THERE
MY DAZZLING INGENUITY
FIRST THING YOU KNOW
MEXICO

[CAMEL]
Can I help?

[ANDY]
A LITTLE WASHBOARD HERE
A BIT OF BEDSTEAD THERE
SEE HOW THEY FIT REMARKABLY
AND THERE YOU GO!
MEXICO
IT'S MADE TO ORDER
FOR WHAT WE'RE NEEDIN' TONIGHT
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
IS WHERE IT'S LEADIN' TONIGHT
IN PANAMA, PAL
THEY GOT THIS LITTLE CANAL
EV'RY LOCK IS SO TERRIFIC
WHEN YOU DOCK AT THE PACIFIC
CUERNAVACA'S JUST A BLOCK OR TWO AWAY

A SHEET THAT WE CAN SPARE
TO SAIL THE MIDNIGHT AIR
A FLARE FOR FARING ON THE SEA
AND WHAT'S THAT GLOW
MEXICO!
Arriba!

[ALL]
MEXICO!
SO PUT A SEWING MACHINE

[ANDY]
THE FLYING CARPET FROM ARABIAN NIGHTS

[ALL]
WHERE IT HAS NEVER BEEN
[ANDY]
WOULD NEVER GO SO FAR TO SHOW WHAT'S IN SIGHT!

[ALL]
A TAILOR’S DUMMY AT THE PROW

[ANN]
GOLLY GEE

[BABY DOLL]
WITH ALL THESE DIAPERS WET
WHAT HAPPENS TO ME?

[ALL]
AND EVEN NOW

[PANDA]
SO MANY PLACES PANDA ALWAYS WANT TO SEE

[ALL]
LAH-DEE-DAH

[CAMEL]
LET'S GRAB A MAP AND FIND WHERE WE WANNA BE

[ANN]
DON'T NEED A RADIO
[ANDY]
WE'LL SEE HAVANA, HAVE ANOTHER CIGAR

[ANN]
TO TELL US WHERE TO GO

[CAMEL]
WE KNOW THAT PANAMA CAN'T BE VERY FAR

[ALL]
WE HAVE THE STARS TO SHOW THE WAY

[ANN]
TOGETHER NOW...

[BABY DOLL]
WHO WANTS TO WORK THIS HARD IT'S BORING AND HOW

[ALL]
AND WHERE'S L.A.?

[DOLLS]
ACCORDING TO THE MAP IT'S
JUST A LITTLE PAST

[ALL]
MEXICO

[ANN]
IN POOR HONDURAS WE WOULDN'T STAY VERY LONG

[CAMEL]
AND GUATEMALA YOU SHOULDN'T PUT IN A SONG

[ANDY]
BUT UP AHEAD FRIEND BEYOND THE VERY NEXT BEND
SHINES OL' POPOCATEPETL
IN A SPOT I OUGHTA SETTLE
BUT A BED I GOTTA GET ALONG THE WAY

[CAMEL]
To the Doll Doctor!

[ALL]
WE'RE SETTING SAIL TONIGHT

[COMPANY]
WE'RE NEARLY FINISHED AND SHE'S SOMETHING TO SEE

[ALL]
NO MOON HAS BEEN SO BRIGHT

[COMPANY]
AND IF SHE FLOATS AT ALL'S A WONDER TO ME

[DOLLS]
WHAT'S WAITING OUT THERE

[COMPANY]
WE ALL AGREE WITH HOPE

[DOLLS]
WHO CAN KNOW...

[COMPANY]
SOMETIMES THE STRANGEST THINGS COME TO BE

[BABY DOLL]
Everybody stop worrying

[ANN]
Why?

[BABY DOLL]
I changed my diaper!

[ANDY]
All aboard!

[CAMEL]
Can I come?

[ANDY]
What use are you?

[ANN]
Let him come!

[ANDY]
He’s useless

[CAMEL]
I’m useless

[ANN]
Maybe he’ll be of some use! Get in!

[ALL]
Get in!

AND HERE WE GO (YES HERE WE GO)
MEXICO
WE'RE ON OUR WAY
AND MEXICO IS SO CLOSE TO L.A
LA!
