Tango Palace

Dr. John

[Verse]
Every town's gotta a tango palace
Old timers chasin' broken dreams
Escapin' whistles stop nightmares
Livin' out 3 movie themes

[Verse]
Every town's gotta a tango dancer
Pretending Latin ancestry
Born somewhere on Main Street
Low branch on the family tree

[Pre-Chorus]
Never does no disco dancin'
Never try to rock 'n' roll
Says that kinda dancin' that they doin'
Just ain't got his kinda soul

[Chorus]
He loves to do the (tango, tango, tango)
Every night it's the (tango, tango, tango)
Till 3 am (tango, tango, tango)
At the Tango Palace, at the Tango Palace

[Verse]
He's got a patent leather hair do
To match the high style of his shoes
Though he swears it's called the tango
It's just another small town blues

[Verse]
He's got a special tango partner
They've danced together, twenty years
She's the stylist in his beauty parlor
Their dancer's messed up two careers

[Pre-Chorus]
Never does no disco dancin'
Never try to rock 'n' roll
Says that kinda dancin' that they doin'
Just ain't got his kinda soul

[Chorus]
Monday, Tuesday it's the (tango, tango, tango)
Wednesday, Thursday it's the (tango, tango, tango)
Friday, Saturday it's the (tango, tango, tango)
At the Tango Palace, at the Tango Palace

[Chorus]
Every Sunday it's the (tango, tango, tango)
Every weekday, do the (tango, tango, tango)
Every year, they do the (tango, tango, tango)
At the Tango Palace, at the Tango Palace

[Outro]
Tango
