On a hilltop in Tahiti as we gazed across the bay 
At the island of Moorea, standing in the day 
And my lovely Margarita serving cool Hinano beer 
I'll be a fool in paradise if I'm a fool out here 
 [bad word] 
Yo lana, can you stand the heat 
Yo lana, bouncing in bare feet 
Yo lana, when you laugh at me 
Yo lana, said I....I'm in ecstacy 

Her name is Margarita and the salt upon your lips 
Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss 
All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this isle 
Is captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your smile 

The sunshine warms your mountain and it paints you golden brown 
These waters lap around you where I only hope to drown

The coconut plantation, the sea and sky are blue 
The south pacific islands they are all caressing you 

The crimson dress you're wearing, with nothing underneath 
The flower there behind your ear, the grass beneath your feet 
Margarita, Margarita please dance with me tonight 
We will dance together where the stars are shining bright 

Margarita, Margarita [bad word] from far away 
Let's go take a dive down in Makawai Bay 
Margarita, Margarita, we pokin Hinalea 
We go in the dark and we don't need a spear
