Hard-headed Feet...
at the party of a friend on his
5lst birthday last night
they went on some revivals
matt monroe and
pilita corales,
gosh, they know the lyrics
by heart
i listened with the
giant ears of this year's
metallic rabbit.
tried to dance the salsa
and the mambo and the chacha
and that criminal tango...
disappointing indeed,
my feet
do not follow my usual orders anymore.

Mambo Mambo
I dance the rumba, the salsa, the cha cha
The limbo, the foxtrott and even the tango
With ladies and girlies with mummies and babies
And djs gone play this cause its on their playlist
And on my journey thru all of these dances
I found a lot of hot sax romances
But mambo seeked me and mambo freaked me
Than she realesed me - and this is how we go
Mambo mambo eh eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo mambo eh eh
Dancin all night long
Mambo mambo eh eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo mambo eh eh
To the break of dawn
...
Mambo mambo eh eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo mambo eh eh
Dancin all night long
Mambo mambo eh eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo mambo eh eh
Thank you for this dance
(repeat the 1st verse)

Mr. Mambo
Written by: john duarte, mark paul
Mr. mambo (repeat)
I've been waiting for the weekend
To go out and have some fun
Well the stars shine just like sequins
And my heart beats like a machine gun
All my friends all need to party
Most of them are on the floor
Well i feel like i'm in heaven
As that boy walks through the door
Ooh i hope he notices
And when he looks me in the eye
Gotta have a beat now
That's why i'm countin' on you
Please mr. mambo
Strike up the combo
And let the music sway
Please mr. mambo
Just one more song now
So we can shake the night away
Here he comes so clean and ready
As he's rockin' to the beat
As he gets closer i'm breathin' heavy
Lookin' down at my own feet
An in a second he's right before me
Askin' me for a dance
I look up slowly, feelin' the glory
As he takes me by the hand
Ooh i wanna feel the rhythm
Ooh i've gotta feel the groove now
I know it's your decision
That's why i'm countin' on you
Please mr. mambo
Just on sambo
And let the music sway
Please mr. mambo
Just one more song so
We can swing the night away
Like it was mardi gras night at the mall and everyone who was anybody was there.
There was some kind of like limbo contest.
Oh no, it was mr. natural brazil, you know, no steroids.
Oh and then like this gorgeous guy come up and asked me to dance.
Well like i got so nervous i split my diet soft drink on him.
Well that kind of bummed the evening out for us.
And just as i was trying to dry him for off, the music started.
Like i had never heard this type of music before.
I had no experience with this strange beat.
It sounded like they stole it from like the "i love lucy" show.
And then like this guy came out.
He was like so for sure, for sure.
He had like wing tip shoes on and like this funny little red hat on.
Like oh wow, that was the night mr. mambo changed my life.
Mr. mambo (repeat and fade with following)
Please mr. mambo
Strike up the combo
And let this music sway
Please mr. mambo
Just one more song now
So we can dance the night away
Please mr. mambo
Strike up the combo
So we can shake the night away

Dance
Holding the strings of vibes
We dance to the string of life...
Dance with me my handsome
Dance with me through the night
Dance with your arms around me
Holding me... Oh... so tight
Dance with me to the music
It's all about rhythm and beat
Just you and me together
Will sweat out the heat
Dance with me to a Salsa, under a starry night
Dance with me to the music, looking into my eyes
Let our lips tango to the rhythm of the beat
Just me and you together, slowly moving our feet
Dance with me my handsome
For this is all that.... I desire
Tender moments, to cherish and admire

The Delay
they had two flat tires,
the river swell like an infected wound,
the road was muddy like mad
and then it rained heavily
time ran so fast, and when they
arrived here, the birthday party
was already over
they explained the delay
about some rebels shooting the soldiers
and they hid behind the bushes on the hills
we were not afraid, our lives must move on
the party pushed through
the music was turned on and the dance started with a salsa.

On Leaving At The Right Time
one good thing with us
is this: we know how to forget
and we know how to begin
less the remembering
when we meet again, we always
talk about food rather than
review the pictures
we struggle again for the old songs
recalling the lyrics
We take some glasses of cold water
and resume with the conversations,
we laugh so loud the neighbors are disturbed
and we start to dance the chacha
and the tango
then we exchange gifts
and once more thank each other again
for this new encounter
a revival, a reconnection, a rebonding
of our hopes and dreams
of course, when the right time comes
we leave because we also want to forget.

Brian Lubeck
I will hold your hand
And we shall dance
The chacha
The sound of
Brian lubeck
Is chacha
I hold you by my hand
Your hand
Your side
Of pleasure
As I slide
My mind
To your
Soft slender
Body swaying
The chacha
To the magic
Of brian lubeck
How I wish
To make love
To someone
Like you
Tonight
Nameless
Woman of
This dancing floor
Where your name
Is simply
A chacha
To the beat

BARRY:
Nobody knew who he really was
But they called him Mambo when he played
KID CREOLE:
He became the King
King of Latin Swing
BOTH:
And oh, the music that he made
Hey Mambo
Did your mama teach you that
Hey Mambo
Did she know what she begat
KID CREOLE:
They used to come in their fancy threads
And he always turned them inside out
BARRY:
They would jam the floor
BOTH:
They would beg for more
BARRY:
And when they got it they would shout
BOTH:
Hey Mambo
Did your mama teach you that
Hey Mambo
Did she know what she begat

Take it away
Do it again

Roro's birthday
they strong men hauled
the videoke box on top of the hill
where the nipa hut stands
and they all connect the wires
beside the natural spring of water
and then Roro sits beside his
birthday cake and they all
sing
happy birthday dear son.
in a minute the roasted pig
turns into a makeshift
of bones
and then Tata and her mother
begins to dance
the chacha.

We Have Danced Tango
We have danced tango in exploiting the earth
We stamp our feet as we move to explore
the whole dancing space on the stage
We only look into the gaiety in our own eyes
as we seek to declare ourselves the winner
in our mastery of the magical move of our body
We explore the mother earth, making believe
that the whole stage is ours to exploit without limit.
With the rhythm of our tango dance
we create atom bombs and other weapons
for the countless crowd
We choke the trees, plants and animals
with our inventions and chemicals
We stuff our water and air
with poison and carbon from our own hands.
We continue to dance our tango dance
claiming that the whole stage is ours.
And we dance and dance our tango dance
until music ceases to be replayed
for the mother earth announces
that our own clever dance and music
choke her to death and our tango on
the great stage cannot at all continue.

Shallow Questions
after dinner
the birthday party of her spinster sister
the usual fried chicken and rice
long noodles for long life
an imagery
of so much superstition
some yellow mangoes
sweet sour
red wine on the table
some fine classic glasses
a toast of
her having to have another year
of boredom
some questions after some drinks
a little drunk he must be
some personal questions as he carries his baby
the mother is lazy i think
and they must have quarreled with her mother-in-law
i don't mind
i keep my own mind
there are other concerns
but he is drunk now and asks me
why i don't go to church on Sunday for the mass
i evaded such a lousy question
an interference on my religious belief
my own convictions
God is somewhere and has a permanent residence
In my heart in my mind in my body in my soul
etcetera
but it is the dinner birthday party of her very lonely spinster sister
i beg away from a drunken discussion
about God and Politics
No heated debates this time of the year
this moment of happiness on a birthday like this
Jokes and light matters
Feathery and Smooth and Comfortable must be the theme
and Points of Convergence
i shift to something life.
'Hey, you have grown more hair, my friend'
we laugh.That i think, is a happy ending.

Dance Party
Come on everyone
Let's go
It' time for a
Dance Party
Turn that music up loud as loud you want
I wanna dance all night until my feet get tired
I don't want this night to end
This is time of my life to get away
From my problems and people I don't want to see
I just want to have fun
Its best way to make me feel so relief
Keep party going
Dance Party
Yeaaaaa
Let get crazy and have great time
Don't stop the music
Bust your move
Don't stop the music
Show people the side
You never show before
They be amazed
Have fun and eat with your friends
Don't be shy
What is point if you go there if you don't have fun
You might make new friends
I want DJ to play my songs
So I can dance all night until my feet get tired
Come on everyone dance
Dance party

Summer time to have fun
Summer is the fun time when get go swimming
Summer when I was born and took care of
Summer when July 4 comes around
every year
Summer is when you can lay out in sun
Summer is best time at night see
stars out
Summer when all families and friends
go to park with their kids
Summer is good time take animals
for a walk
Summer is good time of the season
plant flowers and stuff
Summer when I meet good friends online
that lives another state then we do
Summer is when I meet good guy to
talk to about anything I want and he lists
to me
Summer is when my birthday comes around
Summer when my mom birthday comes around
Summer is day I went swimming with my best friend
this year
Summer is when Amber birthday is
Summer is time of the year have cook out with friends
and your family.
Summer is good time year to have good time and swimming
and party and just have fun with everyone
