Well now Billy Voltaire was a piano player up from Miami way 
He used to play in the bars, he could sound like the stars 
Ladies would pay and pay 
One night he did wind up playin' in Havana town 
Nobody knew, least Billy Voltaire that these were his final sounds 

He met up with Meritta, a dancer in from the Coast 
Half woman, half child, she drove him half wild 
He loved that lady the most 
One night he did find her in the arms of Shrimper Dan 
So he pulled a knife, took poor Danny's life 
And then he turned his own cold hand 

Chorus: 
And it's just a Cuban crime of passion 
Messy and old fashioned 
Yeah, that's what the papers did say 
It's just a Cuban crime of passion 
Anjejo and knives a slashin' 
Yeah but that's what the people like to read about 
Up in America, up in America 

Well now they never found Meritta, some people say she got ill 
Billy Voltaire had no one to claim him, he was buried on pauper's hill 
And no one talks about 'em no more, it happened just a week ago 
But people get by and people get high 
In the tropics they come and they go 

Chorus: 
And it's just a Cuban crime of passion 
Messy and old fashioned 
Yeah, that's what the papers did say 
It's just a Cuban crime of passion 
Anjejo and knives a slashin' 
But that's what the people like to read about 
Up in America, up in America
