Lyrics

Every town's got a tango palace
Old timers chasin' broken dreams
Escapin' whistle stop nightmares
Livin' out B-movie themes
Every town's got a tango dancer
Pretendin' Latin ancestory
Born somewhere on Main Street
Low branch on the family tree
He never does no disco dancin'
Ain't never tried the rock and roll
Says that kind of dancin' that they're doin'
Just ain't got his kind of soul
He loves to do the tango, tango, tango
Every night he do the tango, tango, tango
Till 3:00 a.m. he tango, tango, tango
At the tango palace
At the tango palace
At the tango palace
He's got a patent leather hairdo
Match the high style of his shoes
Though he swears it's called the tango
It's just another small town blues
He's got a special tango partner
They've danced together for twenty years
She's the stylist in his beauty parlor
That dance has messed up two careers
He never does no disco dancin'
Ain't never tried the rock and roll
Says that kind of dancin' that they're doin'
Just ain't got his kind of soul
Monday, Tuesday it's the tango, tango, tango
Wednesday, Thursday it's the tango, tango, tango
Friday, Saturday it's the tango, tango, tango
At the tango palace
Every Sunday it's the tango, tango, tango
Every week they do the tango, tango, tango
Every year they do the tango, tango, tango
At the tango palace
At the tango palace
At the tango palace
Tango
