[F]Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta
Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta

[F]We gotta get goin', where are we goin', what are we gonna [C]do?
We're on our way to somewhere, the [C7]three of us and [F]you
What'll we see there, who will be there, what'll be the big sur[C]prise?
There may be caballeros with [C7]dark and flashing [F]eyes

[C7]We're on our [F]way (we're on our way)
Pack up your [C]pack (pack up your pack)
And if we stay (and if we stay)
[C7]We won't come [F]back (we won't come back)

How can we go, [F7]we haven't [D7]got a [Bb]dime?
But we're [F]goin' and we're [C]gonna have a happy [F]time

[F]Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta
Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta

[F]Now someone said they'd [C]just come back from [F]somewhere
A friend of mine that [C]I don't even [F]know
He said there's lots of [C]fun if we can [F]get there
If [strum 'C' and let ring] that's the case, [strum 'C' 3x]
That's the place, [strum 'C' 3x]
The [Bb]place we want to [C]go [C7]

[F]We gotta get goin', where we're goin', what are we gonna [C]do?
We're on our way to somewhere, the [C7]three of us and [F]you
What'll we see there, who will be there, what'll be the big sur[C]prise?
There may be caballeros with [C7]dark and flashing [F]eyes

[C7]I'll take the [F]train (I'll take the train)
You take a [C]boat (well I take the boat)
I'll take a plane (I'll take the plane)
[C7]You ride the [F]goat (well I ride the goat)

Oh, we don't care, [F7]we'll either [D7]walk or [Bb]climb
But we'll [F]get there and we're [C]gonna have a happy [F]time

[F]Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta
Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta

[F]Someone said he [C]just came back from [F]somewhere
And picked a few pe[C]tunias in the [F]snow
He told me that it's [C]very close to [F]nowhere
If [strum 'C' and let ring] that's the case, [strum 'C' 3x]
That's the place, [strum 'C' 3x]
The [Bb]place we want to [C]go [C7]
