Lyric The Tango King

B. R. Hornsby

Parking lot s full, the crowd s here
All to see and hear the food and beverage seer
Bumpin time, everyone side to side
Left allemand and do-pah-so time
Here she comes, coming round the bend
Been to the bathroom and she s going back again
Just to give a good cold shoulder next time

Been around town and we re going again
Hallelujah when you get to the end
Summer s come now don t you feel the sting
All going down looking for the tango king

Look at Pete, he s a lounge hand
All want to stand where he stands
Spin that girl neath the colored ball
Fancy plaid man s the envy of all

Been around town and we re going again
Hallelujah when you get to the end
Summer s come now don t you feel the sting
All going down looking for the tango king

All the sounds, and the truth is found with a
drink in hand
Kings of lounge, and button-downs are coming
back again
Coming back again

Been around town and we re going again
Hallelujah when you get to the end
Walk on cut glass wouldn t feel a thing
All going down looking for the tango king
