Manana

Manana (Original Mix) - Peggy Lee

Written by：Barbour/Lee

The faucet she is dripping and the fence she's fallin' down

My pocket needs some money so I can't go into town

My brother isn't working and my sister doesn't care

The car she needs a motor so I can't go anywhere

Maana maana maana is soon enough for me

My mother's always working she's working very hard

But every time she looks for me I'm sleeping in the yard

My mother thinks I'm lazy and maybe she is right

I'll go to work maana but I gotta sleep tonight

Maana maana maana is soon enough for me

Oh once I had some money but

I gave it to my friend

He said he'd pay me double

It was only for a lend

But he said a little later that

The horse she was so slow

Why he give the horse my money is something I don't know

Maana maana maana is soon enough for me

Maana maana maana is soon enough for me

My brother took a suitcase and he went away to school

My father said he only learned to be a silly fool

My father said that I should learn to make a chile pot

But then I burned the house down the chile was too hot

Maana maana maana is soon enough for me

The window she is broken and

The rain is comin' in

If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin

But if we wait a day or two

The rain may go away

And we don't need a window on such a sunny day

Maana maana maana is soon enough for me oba oba

Maana maana maana is soon enough for me oba oba
