Last Mango In Paris | (Lou Mac 280) Kip Garvey |
OPENER Mainstream
Sides face grand square
*I went down to Captain Tony's
To get out of the heat
I heard a voice call out to me
Son, come have a seat
Allemande left and weave
I had to search my memories as I looked into those eyes
Our lives change like the weather but a legend never dies
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I had a third world girl in Buzios with a pistol in each hand
She always kept me covered as we moved from land to land
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Heads promenade travel halfway round
Sides do the right & left thru
Heads square thru, count me four hands round
Meet the sides with an eight chain four
I ate the last mango in Paris
Swing corner lady promenade her
I took the first fast boat to China
Jimmy there's still so much to be done
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face grand square
I had a damn good run on Wall Street
With my high fashioned model wife
Till I woke up dry beneath the African sky
Just me and my Swiss army knife
Allemande that corner and weave that ring
I ate the last mango in Paris, took the last plane out of Saigon
I took the first fast boat to China, Jimmy there's still so much to be done
CLOSER Mainstream
Sides face grand square
We shot the breeze for hours
As the sun fell from the sky
And like the sun he disappeared
Before my very eyes
Allemande and weave
I ate the last mango in Paris, took the last plane out of Saigon
I took the first fast boat to China, Jimmy there's still so much to be done
