The Alphonse Mambo

Lyrics for The Alphonse Mambo

I could almost hear the rhythm section Kick in as the sun began to blaze I saw you walk across the plaza Figured I'd just play it like it lays I think I'm gonna be real sick again I think it's gonna happen real soon And I know I can't afford another night here in this place With its sixteenth floor view of the ocean and the dunes And it's gonna be just you and me today Waiting for the other shoe to drop in Tampa Bay I can hear the roar of the crowd In the stadium a couple of blocks away It's the kind of thing that used to get me all worked up But I don't want to talk about it now, okay, okay? Okay I just want to get this whole thing over with I don't want to deal with it anymore I hear the cogs all slipping at the same time And then I see you walk in through the door And it's gonna be just you and me today Waiting for the other shoe to drop in Tampa Bay
