Have you heard the stories that they wrote
About days and nights in a leaky boat?
Washed ashore with splintered wood
The coast guard got me before Castro could

Cooled my heels Bahamas way
While the Yankees worked out my papers and pay
A few months later after many queries
I was pitching in the World Series

And they "say Hey" what a story
And it's hard not to agree
And they say, “Can you believe it!”
Man, you have no idea

Hola America
Hola America

Here’s the thing when you get in
It ain’t the same for your wife and kin
And for all the money that you’re pulling down
It don’t feel that good when they’re not around

And they say “It's never easy”
And I say I must agree
And they say “Does it get lonely?”
Man, you have no idea

Hola America
Hola America

It’s a long way from the Bay of Pigs
New York City high rise digs
Yasiel, Yoenes, El Duque, El Tiante
Bravos, Cerveceros, Nacionales, Los Gigantes

And they say “It's quite a story”
And I say I must agree
And they say, “Do you believe it!”
Man, you have no idea

Hola America
Hola America
Hola, Hola America
