Panama Lyrics

[Intro]
'Cause it's summer time baby!
And I take myself seriously in the fall
Oh yeah!
Uh-huh!

[Verse 1]
Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full blast and top down
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
A Model citizen with zero discipline

[Chorus]
Don't you know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her
Panama
Panama
Panama
Panama

[Verse 2]
Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the movin' parts clean
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom
[Chorus]
Don't you know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her
(Uh-oh!)
Panama
Panama (ow!)
Panama
Panama (ah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Woo!

[Verse 3]
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off
(You know what I'm sayin')
Ah, reach down between my legs and...ease the seat back
She's runnin', I'm flyin'
Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

[Outro]
Panama
Panama
Panama
Panama (ah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Panama
Panama (ah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Panama!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
