New Fangled Tango - Lena Horne (莲纳·荷恩)

Everybody's mambo crazy

Cha-cha happy but I'm lazy

I don't dig that frantic turpsichord

When I trip the light fantastic

I don't wanna be gymnastic

That's not what a dancing floor is for

What I got in mind is a big improvement

With a very minimum amount of movement

Let the other couples push and shove

What I got in mind I think you're gonna love

I've got a new fangled tango

And there's nothing to it

You just sort of stand there

And just sort of do it

You stand close together

There's no wasted motion

A new fangled tango

An old fashioned notion

The floor may be crowded

But that doesn't matter

It's not necessary to move

Don't move why move

It may be crowded

But that's all the better

It's just like romancin'

While dancin' who's dancin'

Oh you start off with one step

And cling to each other

And you know how one step

Can lead to another

Oh there's nothing wrong with

A waltz or fandango

But oh what can come from

A new fangled tango

You cling to your partner

And sway to the rhythm

You can't lose your partner

'Cause you're right there with him

You don't have to worry

About fast or slow steps

The nice part about it

In this dance you don't need steps

You don't have to worry

If your dancing won't do

It's not what you do-do

It's more what you don't do

You don't need a waltz

Or a fancy fandango

You just need a man

And a new fangled tango

Forget the fandango

Give up the mambo

Do the tango
