LaVern Baker - Manana lyrics

Hey, the faucet she is dripping and the fence, she's falling down My pocket needs some money, so I can't go into town My brother isn't working and my sister doesn't care The car, she needs a motor so I can't go anywhere Manana, manana, manana is soon enough for me My mother's always working, she is working very hard But every time she looks for me I'm sleeping in the yard My mother thinks I'm lazy and maybe she is right I'll go to work, manana but I gotta sleep tonight Manana, manana, manana is soon enough for me Oh, once I had some money but I gave it to my friend He said he'd pay me double, it was only for a lend But he said a little later, the horse, she was so slow Why he give the horse my money is something I don't know Manana, manana, manana is soon enough for me My brother took a suitcase and he went away to school My father said he only learned to be a silly fool My father said that I should learn to make a chilly pot But then I burned the house down, the chilly, she was too hot Manana, manana, manana is soon enough for me
