Maana Is Soon Enough For Me 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!
