Rent Tango: Maureen Lyrics

Tango: Maureen Lyrics

MARK

 The lot. Where a stage is partially set up

 JOANNE

 Mark?

 

 MARK

 Hi

 

 JOANNE

 I Told Her Not To Call You

 

 MARK

 That's Maureen

 But Can I Help Since I'm Here

 

 JOANNE

 I Hired An Engineer ...

 

 MARK

 Great!

 Well, Nice To Have Met You

 

 JOANNE

 Wait!

 She's Three Hours Late

 

 The Samples Wont Delay

 But The Cable -

 

 MARK

 There's Another Way

 Say Something - Anything

 

 JOANNE

 Test - On, Two Three ...

 

 MARK

 Anything But That

 

 JOANNE

 This Is Weird

 

 MARK

 It's Weird

 

 JOANNE

 Very Weird

 

 MARK

 Fuckin' Weird

 

 JOANNE

 I'm So Mad

 That I Don't Know What To Do

 Fighting With Microphones

 Freezing Down To My Bones

 And To Top It All Off

 I'm With You

 

 MARK

 Feel Like Going Insane?

 Got A Fire In Your Brain?

 And Your Thinking Of Drinking

 Gasoline?

 

 JOANNE

 As A Matter Of Fact --

 

 MARK

 Honey, I Know This Act

 It's Called The 'Tango Maureen'

 

 The Tango Maureen

 It's A Dark, Dizzy

 Merry-Go-Round

 As She Keeps You Dangling

 

 JOANNE

 You're Wrong

 

 MARK

 Your Heart She Is Mangling

 

 JOANNE

 It's Different With Me

 

 MARK

 And You Toss And You Turn

 'Cause Her Cold Eyes Can Burn

 Yet You Yearn And You Churn And Rebound

 

 JOANNE

 I Think I Know What You Mean

 

 BOTH

 The Tango Maureen

 

 MARK

 Has She Ever

 Pouted Her Lips

 And Called You 'Pookie'

 

 JOANNE

 Never

 

 MARK

 Have You Ever Doubted A Kiss Or Two?

 

 JOANNE

 This Is Spooky

 Did You Swoon

 When She Walked Through The Door?

 

 MARK

 Every Time - So Be Cautious

 

 JOANNE

 Did She Moon Over Other Boys--?

 

 MARK

 More Than Moon--

 

 JOANNE

 I'm Getting Nauseous

 

 (They dance)

 

 MARK

 It's hard to do this backwards

 

 JOANNE

 You should try it in heels!

 

 She Cheated

 

 MARK

 She Cheated

 

 JOANNE

 Maureen Cheated

 

 MARK

 Fuckin' Cheated

 

 JOANNE

 I'm Defeated

 I Should Give Up Right Now

 

 MARK

 Gotta Look On The Bright Side

 With All Of Your Might

 

 JOANNE

 I'd Fall For Her Still Anyhow

 

 BOTH

 When Your Dancing Her Dance

 You Don't Stand A Chance

 Her Grip Of Romance

 Makes You Fall

 

 MARK

 So You Think, 'Might As Well'

 

 JOANNE

 "Dance A Tango To Hell"

 

 BOTH

 'At Least I'll Have Tangoed At All'

 

 The Tango Maureen

 Gotta Dance Til Your Diva Is Through

 You Pretend To Believe Her

 Cause In The End - You Can't Leave Her

 

 But The End It Will Come

 Still You Have To Play Dumb

 Til You're Glum And You Bum

 And Turn Blue

 

 MARK

 Why Do We Love When She's Mean?

 

 JOANNE

 And She Can Be So Obscene

 

 MARK

 Try The Mike

 

 JOANNE

 My Maureen (een, een, een...)

 

 MARK

 Patched

 

 JOANNE

 Thanks

 

 MARK

 You Know - I Feel Great Now!

 

 JOANNE

 I Fell Lousy

 

 BOTH

 The Tango: Maureen!
