Come sit and every afternoon.
Come sweeten every afternoon.
I can hear the sound of violence long before it begins.
I can hear the sound of violins long before it begins.
I can hear the sound of violence
Long before it begins.
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins.
I shouldn't let you smoke things
I should be much too smart for this
Like the lazy ocean monster show
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Other dancers may pee on the floor
Dear by my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go wee
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear by my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
Other dancers may pee on the floor.
Other dancers may be on the floor.
Other dancers may pee on the floor.
Other dancers may be on the floor.
Other dancers may pee on the floor.
Other dancers may be on the floor.
Stay a mile away Yeah I need to know all about you
Sway my way Yeah I need to know all about you
When Morongo rhythm starts to play
When the rumba rhythm starts to play
When Remember Rhythm starts to play
When the rumba rhythm starts to play
When marimbas start to play
Hold me close, make me swear
[Later]
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, swear with me.
When marimbas start to play
Hold me close, make me sway
[Later]
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me.

When the riddler rhythm starts to play
When the rumba rhythm starts to play
When we sway I go "Weeeee!"
When we sway I go weak
When we sway I go 'Whhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeee!'
When we sway I go weak.
When we sway I go weeeeee...
When we sway I go weak
When we sway, I go "whee"
When we sway, I go weak
