Manana Lyrics

MAANA (Is Soon Enough For Me)
Peggy 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)

------ guitar solo ------

(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!

Note:
- "maana" (pronounced mun-yon-a) is Spanish for "tomorrow"
- "Oba! Oba!" is
an exclamation of happiness
