Last Tango On 16th Street

Selling late night transfers Try to make a play The people with the answers Don't often pass this way Starting from Dolores All the way to Three It's the last tango on 16th Street The later that it gets, the meaner than it looks There's a lot to learn out here Not found in books The goddess of the winter rain Watch out for the heat When it's the last tango on 16th Street Same old people begging quarters Stretching out their hands Venders selling flores From a plastic can Some are poor but honest Others lie and cheat When it's the last tango on 16th Street All the homeless helpless need a place to stay Asking you for spare change Don't know what to say Gypsy play her melody, a broken tooth just smile so sweet It's the last tango on 16th Street Same old song, I know you heard it Many times before Why this life in poverty seems so much like a war Just make sure you're careful Where you place your feet When it's the last tango on 16th Street Some of them don't see so good when they leave the bars Talking loud and ugly Stepping from the cars If you're holding valuables, pays to be discrete 'Cause it's the last tango on 16th Street Dodge between the hookers, aim between their thighs Full moon shines above the bay You can see it in their eyes Pass the Capp Street dogleg Your heart might skip a bit When it's the last tango on 16th Street It's the last tango on 16th Street It's the last tango on 16th Street It's the last tango on 16th Street
