We were playing at a club in Costa Rica
Where the Latin lovers come to find romance
When the lady who was dancin' on the tables look our way
"I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight."
That was all she said
But when she showed us how
I almost lost my head
Then she took us to a little hacienda
We were hopin' that her mama was away
The the lady who was dancin' through her garden turned to say
"I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight."
That was all she said
But when she showed us how
I almost lost my head
"I wanna tango all night, rhumba by moonlight."
That was what she said
And when she told us why
Our faces all turned red
We'll do the samba too
And cha cha through the room
But when her mama, sisters and brothers danced
They bagan to sing
"We wanna tango all night."
That was what they said
And when they all showed up
I know we've been misled
We wanna tango all night (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna mambo all night (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna rhumba all night (ay ay ay ay ay)
I said, tango all night
Rhumba in the moonlight (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna tango all night (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna tango all night (ay ay ay ay ay)
Oh, rhumba all night long
