The Gulf of Mexico was the Gulf of America,
Now it's the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico.
Been a long time gone, the Gulf of Mexico,
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.
Every gal in the Gulf of Mexico,
Lives in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico.
So if you've a date in the Gulf of Mexico,
She'll be waiting in the Gulf of America.
Even old New Mexico was once New old Mexico,
Why they changed it, a mystery untold,
Folks just liked it, stories to be sold.
So, take me back to the Gulf of Mexico,
No, you can't go back to the Gulf of Mexico.
Been a long time gone, the Gulf of Mexico,
Why'd the Gulf of Mexico get its name switched 'round?
That's just how the river of history's sound.
The Gulf of America, the Gulf of America,
The Gulf of America, the Gulf of America.
Even old New Mexico was once New old Mexico,
Why they changed it, a mystery untold,
Folks just liked it, stories to be sold.
The Gulf of America was the Gulf of Mexico,
Now it's the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico.
Been a long time gone, oh the Gulf of Mexico,
Why'd the Gulf of Mexico get its name switched 'round?
That's just how the river of history's sound.
So, take me back to the Gulf of Mexico,
No, you can't go back to the Gulf of Mexico.
Been a long time gone, the Gulf of Mexico,
Why'd the Gulf of Mexico get its name switched 'round?
That's just how the river of history's sound.
That's just how the river of history's sound...
