Tango All Night
(Steve Hague, Tom Seufert)
Tid-Bettes: Bette provided background vocals on this song recorded by Ringo Starr.
We were playing at a club in Costa Rica
Where the Latin lovers come to find romance
When the lady who was dancing on the tables looked our way
I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight
That was all she said
But when she showed us how, I almost lost my head
Then she took us to a little hacienda
We were hoping that her mama was away
Then the lady who was dancing through her garden turned to say
I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight
That was all she said
But when she showed us how, I almost lost my head
I wanna tango all night, rumba by moonlight
That was what she said
And when she told us why, our faces all turned red
We’ll do the samba too
And cha cha through the room
But when her mama, sisters and brothers danced they
They began to sing
We wanna tango all night, that was what they said
And when they all showed up, I knew we’ve been misled
We wanna tango all night, ay ay ay ay ay
We’re gonna mambo all night, ay ay ay ay ay
We’re gonna rumba all night, ay ay ay ay ay
I said, tango all night
Rumba in the moonlight
Ay ay ay ay ay
We’re gonna tango all night
Ay ay ay ay ay
We’re gonna tango all night
Ay ay ay ay ay
Oh, rumba all night long
Ay ay ay ay ay
