Mood Mambo

Mood Mambo -The Boomtown Rats

Somewhere up town late last night

Around 9o'clock there was a black snake

Crawling up the latin american stairs

With his slicked black cockroachair

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

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 ok ok ok ok ok ok

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 crazy

Yeah bongo

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 crazy

Bongo crazy

You better play this mambo

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 frmurphy 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

Cha cha cha cha cha cha 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 stay bongo

Oh yeah we go bongo crazy cracy bongo
