The Ñango

Let's have fun and do the ñango
Everyone should do the ñango
It is done in every smart café
Even though you can't pronounce it
When the band begins to bounce it
That's your cue to dance the Cuban way
Everywhere you'll see the gang go
Simply wild about the ñango
Specially when it's fiesta day
You'll adore the innovation
Stopping for a conversation
But you've got to know just what to say
Just tell her
That you love the gleam in her dreamy eyes
And then pronto!
She'll kiss you, señor
Then tell her it was grandioso, so amoroso
And pronto, pronto
She'll kiss you once more
Then you'll know the reason
It went over with a "bang-o"
From New York to Pango-pango
You'll yearn to get your turn
To learn to do the nãngo
Come on everyone dance!
Everyone should learn to do it
There is really nothing to it
Be a jitterbugs the Cuban way
Doo, doo, doo, do the ñango
It's so hot, and it's so pleasant
There is not time like the present
There's the floor, come on, señor
And learn to do the ñango!
Everywhere you'll see the gang go
Simply wild about the ñango
Specially when it's fiesta day
You'll adore the innovation
Stopping for a conversation
But you've got to know just what to say
Come on along and spend the weekend in Havana
Underneath a Cuban moon
Where stars are dancing rhumbas in the sky-ay-ay
If you would like to spend the weekend in Havana
You'd better pack up all your summer clothes
See you down at Sloppy Joe's
Find your seventh heaven in Havana!
