The Boomtown Rats - Mood Mambo lyrics
[The Boomtown Rats - Mood Mambo lyrics]
Night around 9 o'clock
There was a black snake crawling up the
Latin American stairs with his
Slicked black
Cockroachair he was greasy lightning
He was looking for someone else
He said "I know you, you know me
Heyheylezzosee i'm in the Mood to Mambo"
Yeah Bongo Crazy man
Someone else pulled out a gun and said
"It's a little too late for
That sort of thing
If you think that you're the white
Black snake don't go messing with me
I'm not in the mood" somebody else pulled
I said "Don't be rudejust
Say Bongo Crazy man" yahbeen there
Done that given every tit-for tat
I'm for me you're for you
Let's keep it that way okay?
Meanwhile later on underneath the river
Some frogman slipped on his black beret
Over his skin tight rubbersuit
Black boots looking for a place to go
An dive heading for the nearest divers skive
Looking for love on the cheap rate
Go! Gonna make it down
With you wan d'ja see?
He said "Crazy bongo
I'm in the Mood to Mambo"
Meanwhile we can watch the come
Dancing competitions
From the Midlands International
Danceband Orchestra
Lifting up their frilly chiffon skirts
They whirled and they twirled
In the late night rustle
To the beat of the muscle of the drum man
Inanin
He's picking up the beat on the bongo skin
He was lookin' for love underneath that din
He was looking for me he was looking for you
Till I walked up to the woman and I said
(with a shoe)
I'm in the mooooood tooooooo mambo
Bongo Crazy
Sssshhhh
Let me into one of the secrets of this place
Y'see thelate night flick knives
Glitter through the window
Careful where you go boy those knives are
Flick flack
Flagging through the dark, man
They're gonna cut your
Skin i talked to Fr murphy and
He swore he wouldn't tell
But some of those boys are gonna go to hell
See they're in the Mood to Mambo crazy Bongo
Cha cha cha the fog horns scream
And the boys go "Woo Woo" i don't mind
Cos I'm with you we go bongo crazy
Yes we do no we don't
Bongo crazy!
