There's a Spanish disco in a town not far from France throughout the continent where people love to dance a dark-skinned lady there Whose legs have brought her fame She dances in the center ring, the people call her name
Mandolay, say hey Say Mandolay Say hey 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 and smiles at and brings them to their knees Leaves them with their fantasies, but the people never see
Mandolay, say hey Say Mandolay Say hey Say
She can make men happy But she'll never let them know Mandolay, she's much cool to let her feelings show So she'll tease them with her moves, Confuse them her mind Make love to everyone of them, But only with her eyes
