I'm looking for Maria Elena
I'm looking, mom, for Maria Elena
Because that dark girl really is something good
Because that dark girl really is something good
They say all women are good
They say all women are good
But none like my Elena
But none like my Elena
With my dark babe I'm gonna sweep
Oh, in Puerto Rico I'm gonna dance
With my dark babe I'm gonna enjoy myself
With my dark babe I'm gonna sweep
Oh, in New York I'm gonna have fun
I'm leaving with her over there to the bushes
In my Quisqueya I'm gonna sweep
I'm looking, mom, for Maria Elena
I'm looking for Maria Elena
Because that dark girl really is something good
Because that dark girl really is something good
They say all women are good
They say all women are good
But none like my Elena
With my dark babe I'm gonna dance
In Puerto Rico I'm gonna enjoy myself
I'm leaving with her over there to the bushes
Over there in La Luisa I'm gonna have fun
And in Spain I'm gonna dance
Over there in France I'm gonna sweep
And in the East I'm gonna dance
With my dark babe I want to have fun
With my dark babe I'm gonna dance
I want to drink, I want to party
With my dark babe I'm gonna sweep
Dark-skinned Elena gets drunk
Dark-skinned Elena gets drunk
So she doesn't recognize any of her kids
So she doesn't recognize any of her kids
They say all women are good
They say all women are good
But none like my Elena
With my dark babe I'm gonna dance
With my dark babe I want to have fun
In Puerto Rico and in Panama
And with my Elena I'm gonna sweep
