I've got both the English and the Spanish lyrics. I understand your pain,
but it still is a highly requested song. I just put it in that "grin and
bear it" category. Try to have fun with it - especially if you're an all
male band. It would be a hoot to have a male singer singing the English
lyrics in a mock female voice.

When we started doing it, we sang the Spanish version, but the English
version is what most people want. Here are the lyrics:

MACARENA

[16 bar Instrumental vamp]

(1) When I dance they call me Macarena
And the boys they say yo soy buena
They all want me, they can’t have me
So they all come and dance beside me
Move with me, jam with me
And if you’re good, I’ll take you home with me.

CHORUS
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo e pa darle alegria y cosa bueno
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
eh, macarena [2x]

(2) Now don’t you worry ‘bout my boyfriend
The boy who’s name is Vittorino
I don’t want him, couldn’t stand him
he was no good, so I [ha,ha.....]

Now, Come on, what was I supposed to do?
He was out of town and his two friends were so fine.

CHORUS

16 bars instrumental

CHORUS

8 bars instrumental

Come and find me, my name is Macarena
Always at the party cause I think it’s cause I’m buena
Come join me, dance with me
And all you fellas chant along with me

CHORUS [4x with music, last with claps]

Good luck,
Linda
