The George Lazenby Tango

about

Somewhere, not too far from where you find yourself, there are a group of people who dance to different ideas. These people sometimes swim against the tide, but they may also swim ACROSS the tide.

Everybody gets a chance. What comes next is up to you. Even the wrong choice is a choice. Here’s to decisive heroics, grand gestures and failed home run swings.

lyrics

They wear t-shirts with grass skirts
Pizza Huts they’re built with thatched roofs
Palm trees are swaying in the breeze
They stretch their arms and bend their knees
Exotic drinks made from the mango
Here, they dance the Gerorge Lazenby Tango.

You might only want one try
You might only want one dance
When you are done
Give the next guy a chance.

So long to my checkered past
You knew it wouldn’t last
Wasting time
In some dumb acting class.

It's now up to you to decide who's who
The better man with the better moves
A jungle variant fandango
And they dance the George Lazenby Tango.

You might only want one try
You might only want one dance
When you’re done
Just give the next guy a chance.

I’ve got a lot on my mind
Some things you just can’t sell
Peace and love and
Me and Emmanuelle.

So long to my checkered past
You knew it wouldn’t last
Wasting time
In some dumb acting class.

You might only want one try
You might only want one dance
When you’re done
Just give the next guy a chance.

They peel plantains with such elán
Potassium fuels like nothing else can
Palm oil keeps everything lubed
As they fall into the agency of groove.

He is the bond that holds them together
The glue that makes them birds of a feather.
Snakes in the trees shooting the breeze
the natives pump their fists and jangle keys
Their shaking stirs the spirit of the outsider
A license to thrill around the bonfire,
It’s The George Lazenby Tango

The whooping went on, and in about a minute I come a-booming down on a cut bank with SMOKY GHOSTS OF BIG TREES on it, and the current throwed me off to the left and shot by, amongst a lot of snags that fairly roared, the current was tearing by them so swift. - Mark Twain “Huckleberry Finn” ... more
