pack up the louie
caro emerald
the clock rings and it's half past eleven
can't believe it but the time just flies
soon i'll be on a cruise into heaven
hearin' stories and a thousand lies
about the things that i'd never do
experience that i don't have
gotta grab a piece of paper
i wish i could find my pen
what am i taking you? what am i waited for?
and i can't leave a thing behind
for every different change of mind
i gotta pack it for every reason
i love my louie when i go away
we're gonna pack it up every day
lock it up and we're on our way
first stop is gonna be buenos aires
tangolissimo all night long
two days and we're heading off to rio
carnivalling from morning 'till dawn
then i'll samba as queen senorita
do havana down the emerald way
but before i get on the liner
so i grab a piece of paper
tear it out of my cashier
i think i'm leaving today
and i can't leave a thing behind
for every different change of mind
i gotta pack it for every reason
i love my louie when i go away
havana and the emerald way
i gotta get to pier nineteen
peer nineteen on the west side
is there a porter somewhere
get this fabulous trunk in the air
and i can't leave a thing behind
for every different change of mind
i got a pocket for every reason
i love my louie when i go away
we're gonna i pack it up every day
lock it up and we're on our way
