Say Mandolay

There's a Spanish disco in a town not far from France

Known throughout the continent where people love to dance

There's a dark-skinned lady there

Whose legs have brought her fame

She dances in the center ring, and the people call her name

All the men they know her

Or at least they think they do (ha!)

She knows she can have them all

She thinks all men are fools

So she winks and smiles at them, and brings them to their knees

Leaves them with their fantasies, but the people never see

Oh, she can make men happy

But she'll never let them know

Mandolay, she's much too cool to let her feelings show

So she'll tease them with her moves

Confuse them with her mind

Make love to everyone of them

But only with her eyes
