The tour bus came yesterday
|
The driver's a mess today
|
It's a dump of a destiny
|
But it's got a view...
|
Now the kid in the see-through blouse
|
Is moving in hard on his holy vows...
|
Since the preacher's not dead
|
Dead drunk will have to do!
|
|
Night of the iguana
|
The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet
|
Night of the iguana
|
Can you hear the castanets?
|
The widow is dancing
|
Down on the beach
|
|
The starlight is steaming
|
He'd like to be dreaming
|
His senses are screaming
|
Not to be denied...
|
But if the spell of the night should win
|
He could lose his bus
|
For the same sweet sin
|
That took his church from him
|
Then how will he survive?
|
|
Night of the iguana
|
The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet
|
Night of the iguana
|
Can you hear the castanets?
|
It's the widow and her lover-boys
|
Down on the beach
|
|
The night is so fragrant
|
These women so flagrant
|
They could make him a vagrant
|
With the flick of a shawl.
|
The devil's in sweet sixteen
|
The widow's good looking but she gets mean
|
He's burning like Augustine
|
With no help from God at all
|
