[Spoken Intro — female] Ladies… remember those Zone boys? The ones who thought they were smooth? ¡Ay, ay! Let’s go! [Verse 1] Bikes down the block as the sun sank low Big ships rolling through the canal below One stole a kiss, one stole the show One said “forever”—we still don’t know! [Pre-Chorus] Hey, hey! Who was that? Hey, hey! Remember that? [Chorus] Canal Zone boys! Hey! Making noise! Big talk, bright smiles, neighborhood boys! Still got the swagger? We already know! Say “Panamá!”—and we’re ready to go! [Drop — call and response] Zone boys! — ¡Ay, ay! Zone boys! — ¡Dale, dale! Canal Zone boys! Still making noise! [Verse 2] Cayuca races, carnival lights French Cut jumps on hot summer nights Causeway cruising, skipping school Friday pizza at Napolis - we thought we were cool! [Pre-Chorus] Hey, hey! Who was that? Hey, hey! Remember that? [Chorus] Canal Zone boys! Hey! Making noise! Big talk, bright smiles, neighborhood boys! Still got the swagger? We already know! Say “Panamá!”—and we’re ready to go! [Percussion Break — build] Yacht Club dancing! — ¡Eh-eh! Taboga moonlight! — ¡Ay-ay! First slow dance, then the rain came down Sun came out—we kept on dancing! [Verse 3] Baseball, football, Christmas tree flames Sunshine and sea breeze calling our names Years roll by, but the stories stay One “remember when?” and we’re back that way! [Final Chorus — big singalong] Canal Zone boys! Hey! Making noise! Big talk, bright smiles, neighborhood boys! Older now, but we still know— Say “Panamá!” and the good times flow! [Final Drop] Zone boys! — ¡Ay, ay! Zone boys! — ¡Dale, dale! Canal Zone boys! Still making noise! [Spoken Outro — female] To the boys, the friends, and all those stories… ¡Panamá!
