I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here

download

(Robertson / Blair)

Information:
Elvis sang I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here in his 1963 movie Fun In Acapulco. The film version differed slightly from that on record because of Elvis’s delivery. Elvis recorded the song on January 22, 1963, at Radio Recorders. I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here was written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair.

Lyrics:

Toda esta encantadora que me llegou (Everything arrived in a charming way)

No-one's in a hurry, no-one seems to worry
Why they're all so happy is very clear
Every day siesta (nap), every night fiesta (party)
I think I'm gonna like it here

All this lovely scenery, there's more to it than greenery
You know a chance for romance is always near
Mission bells are ringing, everybody's singing
I think I'm gonna like it here

The sound of laughter from every doorway
Sweet music floating across the square
It seems to say things are going your way
Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air

1. Down to my last peso (Mexican currency), but I'm not afraid to say so
I feel just like a brave Spanish cavalier
I don't care where we go, so lean on mi amigo (my friend)
I think I'm gonna like it here

Las noches cantan sus melodias, melodias (The nights sing their songs, songs)

Y son alegres y tan felices, la, la, la (And they're so bright and happy, la, la, la)

Todo lo sera como tu lo quieras, lo quieras (Everything will be like you want, want)
Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air

1. (repeat)
