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
Mandolay

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
