saludos my darlings
and you know who you are
come on let’s mingle
so nice to see you
throw your hips into the air
like cyd charisse and fred astaire
let’s crazy go nuts
just looking into your eyes darling
i can tell that you have
the legs of a dancer
so bring those legs and the
rest of your body over here
and be ‘nando’s private prancer
darling i got to tell you something
and i don’t say this to everybody
you look marvelous
absolutely marvelous
you know my dear
my father used to say to me
‘nando don’t be a schnook
it’s not how you feel
it’s how you look
he was marvelous but you darling
you look marvelous
absolutely marvelous
and this is from my heart
which is deep inside my body
it’s better to look good
than to feel good
get down let’s rap
fernando darlings
who’s marvelous try me
cyndi lauper marvelous
tina turner still marvelous
jayne meadows she’s marvelous
grace jones humongous
cher marvelous
chaka khan marvelous
vanity marvelous
apollonia ditto
madonna her belly button is absolutely marvelous
i’m about to lose control
and i think i like it
oh look there’s sting
looking for his last name in the dip
i am what love is all about
i’ve got american teeth and a spanish mouth
please hold me while i tango
so my dear it’s been a blast
you were not my first you won’t be my last
ciao i’ve got to mambo
nothing lasts forever darling
but it’s not the end of the world
when i was fired by paramount
they were still mgm
i love you young people today
with your rock and roll
like that eddie van heflin
van halen whatever
when i look into your eyes darling
i see the reflection of me
look at me dancing around in there
i look marvelous
absolutely marvelous
you know darling i love dancing
dancing to me is like standing still only faster
do you know what i’m saying to you
my dear do you understand the term full grown midget
must be me
there are eight million stories in the naked city darling
let’s be two of them
i’m kidding you i’m a kidder
let’s you and i go back
to my private hideaway
you put on some soft music
i’ll put on my spiderman pajamas
and we’ll do things i’m going to
tell my friends we did anyway
darling i’m worried about
the cabbage patch kids
i mean when they grow up
will they be confused that these
people are not their real parents
you know i went to a madonna concert
and the people come dressed like her
with the navel showing and the brassiere
and the ties with the pantyhose and the beauty mark
and these were some of the guys
i tell you this rock and roll is really nuts
if a train is leaving chicago
at eleven am in the morning
with five thousand pounds of bluefish
and another train is leaving phoenix
at exactly the same time
and bert convy is still hosting tattle tales
