There's a Spanish disco, in a town not far from France
Known throughout the continent, where people love to dance
There's a dark-skinned lady there, whose legs have brought her fame
She dances in the center ring, and the people call her name...
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay
All the men they know her, or at least they think they do
She knows she can have them all, she thinks all men are fools
So she winks and smiles at them, and brings them to their knees
Leaves them with their fantasies, but the people never see...
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay
She can make men happy, but she'll never let them know
Mandolay she's much too cool, to let her feelings show
So she'll tease them with her moves, induce them with her mind
Make love to every one of them, but only with her eyes...
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay, say hey, say
Mandolay
