mambo nights

(Sing along to Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory")
For mambosexuals!

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my drunken head.
Got a drink jug for a pillow
And the road was last night's bed.
I don't know where I'm going,
Only God knows where I've done:
Jugging down magaritas,
Long Island Lover,
A night of Mambo fun... YEAH!!

When you're brought into Z-Zouk
They say you're born "Ah Beng".
Well, at least they gave me two drinks
With 20 bucks of enterance's pay.
And played without a warning
"Love in the 1st Degree"!
Then followed by "Square Rooms",
And "Summer Rain",
My hands starts to move with glee...

I'm going down in a blaze of Mambo!
Dance right now, or learn the moves.
I'm going down in a blaze of dancing!
Lord I never danced hard,
But my arms grooved hard
All the way till three.
That's me - MB.

You ask me about my talents
And I offer you Retro.
You ask if I'll grow out of Mambo
Well I ask if I'll grow old.
You ask me if I known love,
And what it's like to pick up at the bar.
Well, I've seen love come,
And I've seen it get drunk,
I've seen it get too far.

Too far in a blaze of Mambo!
Dance right now, or learn the moves.
I'm going down in a blaze of dancing!
Lord I never danced hard,
But my arms grooved hard
All the way till three.
That's me - MB.

Each night I go to bed,
I pray the Lord my soles to keep.
No, I ain't looking for forgiveness,
But before I'm six foot deep...
Lord, I got to ask a favour,
And I'll hope you'll understand.
'Cause I've lived nights to the fullest,
Let the boy control the dance.
Staring down the dance floor
As I take the podium stand...

Go down in a blaze of Mambo!
Dance right now, or learn the moves.
I'm going down in a blaze of dancing!
Lord I never danced hard,
But my arms grooved hard
All the way till three.
That's me - MB.
