Boca Chica is a municipality (municipio) of the Santo Domingo province in the Dominican Republic. Within the municipality there is one municipal district (distritos municipal): La Caleta.
As of the 2012 census the municipality had 123,510 inhabitants, 70,184 living in the city itself and 53,326 in its rural districts (Secciones).
For comparison with other municipalities and municipal districts see the list of municipalities and municipal districts of the Dominican Republic.
It has a popular beach with the same name, located about 30 kilometers east of Santo Domingo de Guzmán in the south shore of the island of Hispaniola.
Boca Chica was originally developed by Juan Bautista Vicini Burgos, who established sugar plantations there in the early twentieth century. Vicini was very fond of the place but the golden era of Boca Chica was in the 1950s, when dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo ordered the construction of a modern hotel named "Hotel Hamaca", which subsequently became something of an icon. The hotel got all the more famous because it was there that Trujillo granted asylum to Fulgencio Batista after the Cuban Revolution.
One day i'll come by your restaurant
In disguise, big sunglasses on
You'll walk up to me, real slow
Hand me a menu and say hello
Look so sweet so I offer you a seat
Smile and already i feel the heat turn on
Got nothing to fear (nothing to fear)
You captivate me
You fascinate me
You elevate me
Oooh
You magnetize
You tantalize me
You mesmerize me
Ride ride ride ride with me
Ride ride ride ride with me, with me
Let's go
Suddenly you'll say, "Hey haven't we met?'
I'll "Yeah, in another life, I bet. With no regret."
So we'll talk for awhile and share a little laugh
Feels real nice just to have a little chat
It's funny how things come around
and knock your feet off the ground
Got nothing to fear (nothing to fear)
You captivate me
You fascinate me
You elevate me
Oooh
You magnetize
You tantalize me
You mesmerize me
Ride ride ride ride with me
Ride ride ride ride with me, with me
Let's go
Eyes sparkle
Dimples smile
Still feel your kiss burn
on my lips for awhile
Then you'll take my hand and ask me to run away with you
And we'll fall in love the way I always wanted to
Yeah, I could spend a whole lifetime with you
I could never get tired of eyes that blue
Got nothing to fear, when you are here
Got nothing to fear, when you are here
You captivate me
You fascinate me
You elevate me
Oooh
You magnetize
You tantalize me
You mesmerize me
Ride ride ride ride with me
Ride ride ride ride with me, with me
