Jimmy Buffett - Desperation Samba Lyrics
Desperation samba (halloween in tijuana)By: jimmy buffett, will jennings, timothy b. schmit1985This song brings to mind two things. first, an image of robert mitchumStanding in the doorway of a bar in tijuana, and second, a line byThomas mcguane, my brother-in-law, from his book, panama,"the night wrote a check the morning couldn't cash."- used by permission of authorHalloween in tijuanaFull moon in my eyesI wonder how in the hell i got hereWithout a disguiseShould i take this last stepOr turn myself aroundOr follow my intuition into that border townYo quiero a bailar en mexico [i want to dance in mexico]We do the desperation samba con nos amigos [...with our friends]Yo quiero a bailar en mexicoWe do the desperation samba con nos amigosPretty girls they beckonFrom their rooms aboveSkeletons are dancingIn the name of loveDon't know where i'm goin'I don't like where i've beenThere may be no exitBut hell i'm going inYo quiero a bailar en mexicoWe do the desperation samba con nos amigosYo quiero a bailar en mexicoWe do the desperation samba con nos amigosI hear the people singing that same old haunting tuneI drink because i know it's me against the moonYo quiero a bailar en mexicoWe do the desperation samba con nos amigosYo quiero a bailar en mexicoWe do the desperation samba con nos amigos-- spoken:"tss, tss tss""hey, psst amigo!"Ooh ooh ooh oohOoh ooh ooh oohYo quiero a bailar en mexicoWe do the desperation samba con nos amigosYo quiero a bailar en mexicoWe do the desperation samba con nos amigos- notes:Background vocals: timothy b. schmit, harry stinsonFeaturing reggie young on gut string guitar andHarrison ford on the bullwhip
