Then he came out of the night in a cloud of Hugo Boss,
He takes a tango in the flower bed and he takes a last puff
He smokes Gula Blend with a filter - he wears a waistcoat,
Adorned with a club pin from Rotary and a tie from Shanghai
Before he has traveled the world and seen many a distant land
He has slept with a whore on Battaya's hot beach
He says; Now I'm here again at the city's city hotel
I'm going to find myself a woman, it's going to be a blast tonight...
But just then the band plays a tango
Life is a game just like bingo
And it's all about getting the numbers in a row
He dances and he chooses his numbers
He takes a First drink at the bar - it's green with a parasol
He takes a second drink at the bar - same green with a parasol
He says; Now I'm here again at the city's city hotel
He says; Now I'm here again...
Then the band plays up to dance and it's Cirkus Miramar
Which lets the dance band base roll in a menless serenade
And he takes aim at a woman and takes off his wedding ring
He sees a waitress; Hey can I have a green gin sling?
He's packed like a sprat (a can in a white suit)
And he's smiling like a piranha and he stinks of perfume
He says; Me, who has voted moderate since I can't remember
And out with all the blatting and more military...
But just then the band plays a tango
The life of is a game just like bingo
And everything here is about getting the numbers in a row
He dances and he drinks his numbers
He takes a first drink at the bar - it's green with a parasol
He takes a second drink at the bar - same green with a parasol
He says; Now I'm here again at the city's city hotel
He says; Now I'm here again...
He says; Now it's time for me to make my entrance
Now I'm going to teach you how to waltz
He puts his arm around a woman - becomes a snake around her neck
And sings Love me tender - fake
He dances the waltz! He dances the waltz! He dances the waltz! He's dancing a waltz!
- It doesn't matter if it's a tango or a waltz
He's dancing a waltz! He dances the waltz! He dances the waltz! He dances the waltz!
But when he's done drinking, he can't dance at all.
