[Verse 1: Salsa-dura male lead, hard sonero attack, every line on the clave] Friday at the social club, the band is warmin' up Same table by the window and the same lime in the cup Thirty years of Fridays, I would lead and she would spin Now the ladies keep on askin' and I tell 'em, not again But tonight I shined the two-tones and I put her ring on me Little finger, little diamond, where the whole room gets to see Told the trombones, play it hot, play the one she'd always choose Sabor in the corner, I got nothin' else to lose [Hook: Salsa-dura male lead, full band, blasting trombones, hard salsa-dura hook] I'm dancin' both parts, yours and mine Lead on the one and I follow on time Spin where you spun with my hand in the sky I'm dancin' both parts, yours and mine [Verse 2: Salsa-dura male lead, harder, calling out to the band] First I took the lead and I walked her through the floor Then I turned beneath my own arm like she did before And the young ones at the bar put their bottles on the shelf 'Cause they never seen a man lead a turn into himself Piano caught the montuno and he doubled it with fire Trombones stood up blowin' and they took it even higher Wepa in the corner and the whole room on its feet Thirty years she followed me, tonight I follow the beat [Hook: Salsa-dura male lead, full band, blasting trombones, hard salsa-dura hook] I'm dancin' both parts, yours and mine Lead on the one and I follow on time Spin where you spun with my hand in the sky I'm dancin' both parts, yours and mine [Mambo: Salsa-dura male lead, heel pivot, the band stops on one squeak of a heel turning on the wood, then the full trombone mambo crashes back] One squeak on the wood where your heel used to be Then the whole band hit it like they're dancin' it with me Mambo, mambo, carry it around Wepa, mi vida, I don't ever sit it down Bandleader cut the coro and he pointed at the ring Told the timbales, follow him, whatever he's gonna bring So I spun 'em into overtime, the bongos on my heels Every turn of yours I kept is a turn that I can feel [Final Hook: Salsa-dura male lead, full band, blasting trombones, hard salsa-dura hook] I'm dancin' both parts, yours and mine Lead on the one and I follow on time Spin where you spun with my hand in the sky I'm dancin' both parts, yours and mine [End]
