PHIL REGAN:
Muchacha
Tonight I've got you where I want you, my Muchacha
I'll watch ya
Just like a cat would watch a little cucaracha

For ransom I ask for a handsome prize
Let it be a glance from your dancing eyes

I've gotcha
And in the lingo of the gringo, I'm so hotcha
Muchacha, for...

DOLORES DEL RIO:
Behold the chief of the bandit brigade
Behold a bandit who isn't afraid
Of anything but a Mexican maid
In Caliente

PR: Ah, si!

(For ransom we ask for a handsome prize)
(Let it be a glance from your dancing eyes)
(We've gotcha)
(And in the lingo of the gringo, I'm so hotcha)
(Muchacha, for you)

(So, tonight we'll have a gay fiesta)
(We'll romance and dance the night away)
(We'll live and love and be merry and gay)
(Until the dawn of another new day)

(Muchacha
(Tonight I've got you where I want you, my Muchacha)
(Muchacha)
(I'll watch ya)
(Just like a cat would watch a little cucuracha(
(Cucaracha)

(For ransom I ask for a handsome prize)
(Let it be a glance from your dancing eyes)
(I've gotcha)
(And in the lingo of the gringo, I'm so hotcha)
(Muchacha, for you)
