Tango: Maureen [French translation]

The samples won't delay

But the cable

There's another way

Say something, anything

Test, one, two, three

Anything but that

This is weird

It's weird, very weird

Fuckin' weird

I'm so mad that I don't know what to do

Fighting with microphones

Freezing down to my bones

And to top it all off

I'm with you

Feel like going insane?

Got a fire in your brain?

And you're thinking

Of drinking gasoline?

As a matter of fact

Honey, I know this act

It's called

The 'Tango Maureen'

The Tango Maureen

It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round

As she keeps you dangling

You're wrong, you're heart she is mangling

It's different with me

And you toss and you turn

'Cause her cold eyes can burn

Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound

I think I know what you mean

The Tango Maureen

Has she ever pouted her lips

And called you 'Pookie'? Never

Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?

This is spooky

Did you swoon when

She walked through the door?

Every time

So be cautious

Did she moon

Over other boys?

More than moon

I'm getting nauseous

Where'd you learn to tango?

With the French Ambassador's daughter

In her dorm room at Miss Porter's

And you?

With Nanetter Himmelfarb

The Rabbi's daughter at

The Scarsdale Jewish

Community Center

It's hard to do this backwards

You should try it in heels

She cheated

She cheated

Maureen cheated

Fuckin' cheated

I'm defeated

I should give up right now

Gotta look on the bright side

With all of your might

I'd fall for her still anyhow

When you're dancing her dance

You don't stand a chance

Her grip of romance makes you fall

So you think, might as well

Dance a tango to hell

At least I'll have tangoed at all

The Tango Maureen

Gotta dance 'til your diva is through

You pretend to believe her

'Cause in the end, you can't leave her

But the end it will come

Still you have to play dumb

'Til you're glum and you bum and turn blue

Why do we love when she's mean?

And she can be so obscene

My Maureen

The Tango Maureen
