It was in Pittsburgh late one night
I lost my hat, got into a fight
I rolled and tumbled 'til I saw the light
Went to the Big Apple, took a bite.

Still the sun went down your way
Down from the blue into the gray
Where I stood, I saw you walk away
You danced away.

I asked her what we're gonna do tonight
She said, "Cahuenga langa-langa-shoe box soap"
We better keep tryin' till we get it right
"Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop."

She wrote a long letter on a short piece of paper
Oh Margarita don't stay away too long
Come on home
Oh Margarita don't say you will when you won't
Margarita
