This E makin' a livin' is A killin' me 
I E work like a dog in this B hot factory 
Can't A even afford a B vacation when I've got the E time 
But I've got road maps of A Mexico 
E Brochures and pictures of B places to go 
A Dreamin' in color, B livin' in black and E white 


[Refrão]
I can A drink margaritas with B sweet senoritas 
A work on my tropical E tan 
A Dangle my feet in the E crystal blue water 
A Lay in the snow white B sand 
E I've never been down to B Mexico 
E But I'm gonna go there A tonight 
I'm E dreamin' in color, B livin' in black and E white 
 
 
E I'd like to buy a new A Cadillac 
E Build me a house with a B pool out back 
And A eat at the country B club every Saturday E night 
But E there ain't much pay in my A ol' paycheck 
But E I'll win the lotto one day I B bet 
 
A Dreamin' in color, B livin' in black and E white 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
I'm E dreamin' in color, B livin' in black and E white
