Story behind the song
This song celebrates a fact I had known for some time but was reminded of on a recent vacation trip to Panama.
Lyrics
Quito! (The Panama Hat Song) Verse 1 I took a little journey down to Panama For to buy a hat made out of Golden straw But in my plan there was a little flaw When I went to Panama and tried to buy A Panama hat Verse 2 I found a perfect fit in a village store But the label said the hat was made in Ecuador! Said to the man, “Hey por favor, senor, ‘Cause I didn’t know that Ecuador it makes The Panama hat Chorus Now Quito, Quito is where I want to go Quito, Quito at Latitude Zero Quito, Quito, that’s where it’s at ‘Cause Ecuador is where they make The Panama hat Verse 3 Now Panama is really very warm and nice There’s a big canal and frosty beer on ice But Ecuador is my advice Go a little more south and you will find The Panama hat Verse 4 So go to Ecuador and it will be all right They got pretty girls and the Sun so bright Gonna need a hat to face the Noon daylight So it’s good that Ecuador is where they make The Panama hat Chorus Now Quito, Quito is where I want to go Quito, Quito, they take it nice and slow Quito, Quito, that’s where it’s at ‘Cause Ecuador is where they make The Panama hat (Verse/Chorus instrumental break) Bridge The Panama hat has style and fame, And “Ecuador hat” would not sound the same, So I guess it’s okay that they stole the name… Chorus From Quito, Quito that’s where I want to go Quito, Quito, they have the sweet mango Quito, Quito, that’s where it’s at ‘Cause Ecuador is where they make The Panama hat Coda I thought Panama is where they make the hat But go to the source now you know better than that ‘Cause Ecuador is where they make The Panama hat You know Ecuador is where they make The Panama hat
