Randolph’s Tango (John Peel session, 1973) Songtext
von Thin Lizzy

The senorita 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′s doesn′t know he doesn't stand a chance
His last affair will be his last romance

The senorita will be there waiting
Don′t go my Randolph slow tango with me

Underneath the Latin moonlight
The danced and seen a falling star in flight
To the strum of guitars she held him tight
She wants her Randolph back again


Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait
′Till 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 senorita will be there waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me

The senorita′s heart is in love
She 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's thinks she′s stood him up but in the end

The senorita won't keep him waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me

Senorita dance cheek to cheek
We will dance off into the sky
