Ad de Day

< instrumental opening > 

 

When those ships come quietly,

to anchor in that old Havana Bay . . .

forms of Cuban money divers

swim around the sides

as though at play!

 

It's there beginning of another business day . . .

In broken English this is what they sing and play,

Ad day, hey, ad de day . . .

Have you got a little coin to throw away?

 

Throw those those pennies, throw those nickels many times

We would love a silver dollar . . .

If you haven't got a silver dollar

How about dimes?

Ad day, hey, ad de day . . .
Oh we love our work no matter what the pay . . .

Always happy, always smilin', always gay!
You'll find your ears a ringin'
with a song we're always singin'
when you go away . . . when you go away!

< instrumental close >
