I tried my luck in discotechs
And I pulled myself from many heartless wrecks
I saw my blind dates run from view
Matchmakers stare at me without a clue

But the pain went away
I saw her jump from the page
Dislike difference of age
But I'm mailing away for muchacha latina today

We'll corraspond
Exchange locks of hair
Now don't condemn our love because it's rare
Let it flower as others do

Her madre, she wishes we'd be married soon
We are the perfect pair
And there's a world we can share

Say what you may
I'm mailing away for muchacha latina today

Everything is fragile
And I'm thinking
Maybe you oughtta wait
But you don't

Everything is fragile
So I don't break you
Maybe you oughtta wait
That's a chance we're gonna take

Every country round the world
Where there are people
There is lonliness
Fill the gaps
Unite the nations
Ain't this the melting pot
Get with it
Get in it

Don't be afraid
To join the postal brigade
Let them say what they may
I'm mailing away for muchacha latina today
