This makin' a livin' is killin' me, I work like a dog in this hot factory
Can't even afford a vacation when I've got the time
But I've got a road map to Mexico
Brochures and pictures of places to go
Dreamin' in color, livin' in black and white

I can drink margaritas with sweet senoritas, work on my tropical tan
Dangle my feet in the crystal blue waters, lay in the snow white sand
I've never been down to Mexico but I'm gonna go there tonight
I'm dreamin' in color, livin' in black and white

I'd like to buy a new Cadillac, build me a house with a pool out back
And eat at the Country Club every Saturday night
But there ain't much pay in my ol' paycheck
But I'll win the Lotto one day I bet
Dreamin' in color, livin' in black and white

I can drink margaritas with sweet senoritas, work on my tropical tan
Dangle my feet in the crystal blue waters, lay in the snow white sand
Well, I've never been down to Mexico but I'm gonna go there tonight
I'm dreamin' in color, livin' in black and white
I'm dreamin' in color, livin' in black and white
