Ma Conchita (ORIGINAL): Colin Barley

An original song and video, inspired by a gently amusing TV commercial for Avis. If they complain, I'll claim fair use and/or cease and desist. Hyundai should be proud.

Ma Conchita

I flew in jet lagged on a Sunday
The hotel room was ready Monday
Rented the very best Hyundai
That's how I met her on the Tuesday

She worked for Avis in the morning
Said it's okay but rather boring
I couldn't help but start adoring
While I could hear her neighbor snoring

Oh ma Conchita come and stay
All my dreams are de nada
Oh would you ever come away
From that Copacabana

We drove along the blue Atlantic
I did my best to be semantic
And I restrained from any antic
But she could tell that I was frantic

Oh ma Conchita come and stay
All my dreams are de nada
Oh would you ever come away
From that Copacabana

She couldn't see me on my last day
'Cause she had work and it was payday
I shed a tear upon the runway
And I flew off into the cloud gray

Oh ma Conchita come and stay
All my dreams are de nada
Oh would you ever come away
From that Copacabana

She said my letters were so funny
Said I'd be back when it was sunny
I got laid off and had no money
And then I heard she found a hubby

Oh ma Conchita come and stay
All my dreams are de nada
Oh would you ever come away
From that Copacabana
