"Randolph's Tango" lyrics

"Randolph's Tango"

Señorita took off her bobby socks
She said she's gonna wear a skirt that shocks
She's pulling out all the stops
To get her Randolph back again

Meanwhile Randolph, he's back at the ranch
He's getting ready for tonight's song and dance
He doesn't know he doesn't stand a chance
His last affair will be his last romance
The señorita will be there waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me

And underneath the Latin moonlight
They danced and seen a falling star in flight
With the strum of guitars, she held him tight
She wants her Randolph back again

Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait
'Til he gets the nerve then he won't hesitate
He doesn't know but he's just bit the bait
He just asked if he could make a date
The señorita will be there waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me

The señorita's heart is in love
She's wearing white tonight, looks as pure as a dove
She's thanking God and all the heavenly stars above
Randolph's romance is back again

Meanwhile Randolph smiles and says he'll give her ten
She doesn't come so he just counts again
And he's been there since he does not know when
He thinks she's stood him up but in the end
The señorita won't keep him waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me

Señorita dance cheek-to-cheek
We will dance off into the sky
