Black Mambo

When you're on your own

And you've got them twistin' bones

And a red hot poker burnin' in your ear

You think you've had it, but you ain't nowhere near

You think you've had it, but you're nowhere near (Nowhere near)

Oh, black mambo, gonna knock you down to the ground

Oh, black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run

Don't let the children catch you

Don't let all the children catch you

Gonna knock you down with liquor and love

Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run

Don't let 'em catch you out here on the streets 'cause you've got no soul

Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run

Don't let the children catch you

Don't let all children catch you now

No, no, no

Gonna lock you down with liquor and love

I'll lock you down with liquor and love

Oh, black mambo, with a funeral hall

No, no, no-no-no, black mambo

Oh, black mambo come a knockin' with a funeral hall

Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run

Don't let the children catch you

Don't let all the children catch you

Don't let the children catch you

Don't let all the children catch you

No, no, no, no
