Hey Mama Don’t You Wanna Dance with Me

[Intro] Hey mama, hey mama Don’t you wanna dance with me Hey mama, hey mama Got me smiling constantly Hey mama, hey mama Come on over, be my melody [congas, timbales, maracas on 3-2 clave, filtered montuno guitar riff, pitched vocal trills on “mama”] ¡DA-DA-DALE! ¡DALE! [Verse 1] Can’t sit still, Thirty seconds Rhythm hits? You’re there Grocery store announcements, on the speaker Turn the whole aisle, into somethin' worth a stare Got me like a Kitchen-witch Cackle laughing, ¡AY! Brewing trouble, Worth a little sin One look, across the room Got me, pullin' me, right back in You see castles, in the blueprints I just stare, at broken nails You see runways, in my rough days When I think, the ship has already sailed Bet on me, before I won That’s a debt, I can’t repay Still choosing you Still chasing you Like the first damn day ¡DALE! [Build-Up 1] You’re bound to my mind, girl Got me laughing every day One look from you And I forgot every mile I walked along the way You find rhythm in the static Melodies inside the rust Little feet right there behind you Learning from the girl we trust ¡FUEGO! [filtered riser, brass swells, gang shouts, sudden silence] [Drop 1] Still got that fire Still got that flame Still got me staring Like the first damn day Every time you cross the room My heart goes ba-ba-ba-boom ¡DALE! Ba-ba-ba-boom boom boom ¡DALE! AY! Ba-ba-ba-boom [Break Section / Theme Park Story] Waiting on a theme park ride Long line, hot day Music coming through the trees You start moving anyway Little kid staring “What you doing?” You said “Dancing, wanna dance with me?” He laughed “Uhh... no.” But your feet just cant just wont shoulder shimmy wont resist "Come on jus' a lil' twist" ¡DALE! [percussion solo: congas, timbales, claps, crowd chants] That’s right You keep smiling anyway That’s right You keep dancing anyway That’s right You keep loving anyway Come on, ¡DALE! [Build-Up 2] You were dancing long before We ever heard their names Motherhood didn’t change your song It just added new refrains ¡DALE! [Drop 2] Mama duck, QUACK QUACK Got the whole parade in tow Before they knew the tune, pickin' where ta' go Now they hear your beat, Movin' them little feet Tiny backup dancers dancin' sing'in Spinning circles at your feet Tiny dancers got a little, QUACK Learning all their favorite moves From the girl I still choose ¡FUEGO! [Bridge / Stadium Lift] Still got that dancer’s swagger Still got that look that starts a fire Still got that spark Still got that glow Still got me falling for you Everywhere we go [Final Drop] Hey mama, hey mama Let me show you what I see tonight Ba-ba-ba-boom, ¡DALE! [Outro] Hey mama, hey mama Don’t you wanna dance with me No more silence No more time Just your laughter Next to mine Hey mama, hey mama You’re the rhythm underneath The whole world could stop spinning You’d keep dancing Our tiny dancers at your feet Hey mama, hey mama Don’t you wanna dance with me
