Tango Town 1925

Cabaret lights brightly shining
somewhere in old Tango Town,
in a magic hall of splendour
dancers with their glances tender
held in the spell of a tango
there as they gracefully sway,
bright eyes so daring, nobody caring,
listen to what they say.

Oh! This wonderful night
of dreamy delightful swaying,
while that beautiful band
a rhythm so grand is playing,
even when I'm asleep
I know I shall keep on saying
"Honey, it's twice as nice
as being in Paradise
when dancing in Tango Town.

Oh! This wonderful night
of dreamy delightful swaying,
while that beautiful band
a rhythm so grand is playing,
even when I'm asleep
I know I shall keep on saying
"Honey, it's twice as nice
as being in Paradise
when dancing in Tango Town.

After the dancing is over
somewhere in old Tango Town,
in the hearts of all come stealing
southern melodies appealing,
out in the beautiful moonlight
moments are dearest of all,
lips that are sweetest
give the completest
answer to Cupid's call.

Oh! This wonderful night
of dreamy delightful swaying,
while that beautiful band
a rhythm so grand is playing,
even when I'm asleep
I know I shall keep on saying
"Honey, it's twice as nice
as being in Paradise
when dancing in Tango Town.

Oh! This wonderful night
of dreamy delightful swaying,
while that beautiful band
a rhythm so grand is playing,
even when I'm asleep
I know I shall keep on saying
"Honey, it's twice as nice
as being in Paradise
when dancing in Tango Town.
