Now if you're looking for a lady to snuggle up in your bed
   You'd better think about movies or pictures instead
   For you don't make love in Panama
   Until you've bought a camera
  
   Standing up and down the sidewalks with duty frees in their hands
   Showing off with a price tag to make you understand
   That you don't make love in Panama
   Until you've bought a camera
  
   Any kind of little something that you wanna try
   All depends on what you buy
   For if you buy a watch, that will only keep her smiling
  
   Bring out the old 'greenbacks', show us to your room
   Let's make some movies, looking through the zoom into
   Love, sweet love in Panama
   Let us buy your camera
  
   So if you go to Panama, look down the old street
   Pick out the best camera and you'll get a real treat
   For you don't make love in Panama
   Until you've bought a camera
   Ay-yi-yi, Panama!
  
   Any kind of little something that you want to try
   All depends on what you buy
   For if you buy a watch, that will only keep her smiling
  
   Ay-yi-yi, Panama
   Let's all buy a camera!
