We're three caballeros
Three gay caballeros
They say we are birds of a feather
We're happy amigos
No matter where he goes
The one, two, and three goes
We're always together
We're three happy chappies
With snappy serapes
You'll find us beneath our sombreros
We're brave and we'll say so
We're bright as a peso
Who says so? We say so!
The three caballeros
Ohhhh!
We have the stars to guide us
Guitars here beside us
To play as we go
We sing and we samba
We shout 'aye caramba’!
What means aye caramba?
Oh yes, I don't know
Ohhhh!
Through fair or stormy weather
We stand close together
Like books on the shelf
And pals though we may be
When some latin baby
Says yes, no, or maybe
Each man is for himself!
(Musical Break)
Ohhhh!
We have the stars to guide us
Guitars here beside us
To play as we go
We sing and we samba
We shout 'aye caramba’!
What means aye caramba?
Oh yes, it means, I don't know
