As performed by BING CROSBY in the film "Just For You":

Goodbye, thanks a lot for that champagne
Kindly pour me on a plane
See me off and I'll si-si ya in Bahia

Goodbye, adios and fare-thee-well
Tie a tag to my lapel
With the name of my hotel down in Bahia

Oh, will my romantic heart explode
When all at once I get a load of my Maria
Mamma mia
No, she doesn't fall for other guys
And I'm the one who put her wise to their approaches
Buenas Noches

Oh, it's love, aye-aye-aye and boy-oh-boy
This is it, the real McCoy
That's the way it's gonna stay, I guarantee ya

So, all my fine and faithful friends
As this charming evening ends and I go my way
I pause to say
I'll si-si ya in Bahia
Till I bring the lady back to the USA

(Instrumental Break / Dance Routine)

Oh, she's mine, kinda short and Portuguese
And she calls a kiss a kees
But her kees is quite a kiss, I guarantee ya

Love, so my chums and lovely chicks
As I board a DC6 at the break of day
I pause to say
I'll si-si ya in Bahia
Till I bring the lady back to the USA
