Tango - Red Elvises

When I was no more than a boy,

Back then my hair was in style,

Two hundred women fell in love

After they saw my charming smile.

I did the mamba in Monaco,

I did the samba in Havana,

I belly danced in Istanbul

To songs by Abba and Nirvana.

This magic tango

Reminds of champaign in Bangkok,

Romantic nights in Casablanca

And trasvist nights in Ho Chi Minh.

That life was stronger

And prophylactics lasted longer

And making love was such a fun

When I was cool, when I was young.

Night in Havana cabaret…

Bikini, mini, smoking, sweat…

This tango beautiful like dream

Was softly played by Grateful Dead…

I got so drunk I sank my boat,

It couldn’t spoil my happy smile,

I swam from Moscow to New York

Five hundred thousand square miles…
