Boomtown Rats - Mood Mambo lyrics

Somewhere up town late last night Around 9 o'clock there was a black snake Crawling up the Latin American stairs With his slicked black co*kroachair He was greasy lightning He was looking for someone else He said, "I know you, you know me, hey, hey, lezzosee 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 rude, just say bongo crazy man" Yah, been there, done that Given every tit-for-tat I'm for me You're for you, let's keep it that way, okay [unverified] 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 diver's 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 mood to mambo Bongo crazy Shh, let me into one of the secrets of this place Y'see the late 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
