Oh, I was kicked back in a rented cabana

Easin' my mind with some old Carlos Santana

Nibblin' on banana moon pie

When I swore I saw an angel from Heaven floatin' by

Then I thought: «No, no way: she must be from around here.»

She got one of those tans you just know she wears all year

Swayin', sashayin', flip-floppin' along

Like wherever she may be is right where she belongs

An' I thought: «Oooh, I love the local girls.»

«Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

«I love the local girls

«Lo, lo, local;

lo, lo, local;

lo, lo, local girls.»

I said: «Madam, if you have nowhere to go

«Can I interest you in an ice-cold Pacifico?»

An' she said: «As luck would have it

«I got nothin' but time,»

She reached in her back-pack

Said: «Down here you’ll find

«That a lady don’t leave home

«Without a couple of limes.»

An' I said: «Oooh, I love the local girls.»

«Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

«I love the local girls

«Lo, lo, local;

lo, lo, local;

lo, lo, local girls.»

Later on she took me to this bar built out of cinder blocks

One of those joints with a notice to shell park in line

While we were dancin', she whispered: «I like you a lot.»

An' I said: «My, my, my, go on: say that one more time.»

Five years later, here I am intermittent

With a couple a-toaheads as that big ol' orange sun is settin'

I can’t believe how good it’s stuill gettin'

As I watch my daughters splashin' in the water

An' I thought: «Oooh, I love the local girls.»

«Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

«I love the local girls

(Here she come, now.)

«Lo, lo, local;

(Hey.)

«Lo, lo, local;

(Here she come, now.)

«Lo, lo, local girls

«Lo, lo, local;

(Ooh.)

«Lo, lo, local;

(Whoo.)

I love the local girls

«Lo, lo, local;

lo, lo, local;

I love the local girls

I love the local girls

I love the local girls…
