Lyrics

Limbo Lady

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I am in Jamaica with the palms swaying 'round
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Home of Limbo-lady in the dark flowered gown
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Every night she dances with rhythm like no one
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
She says she’s Limbo-Lady and she bends like the palms
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)

[Chorus]
Limbo-Lady, Limbo-Lady lie Down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo-Lady, Limbo-Lady lie Down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo-Lady, Limbo-Lady lie Down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo-Lady, Limbo-Lady lie Down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)

[Verse 2]
She's beautiful and smiles at me
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
We dance so close that I can't believe
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo-Lady begs me bend some more and dance
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
She whispers in my ear and soon I’m in a trance
(Ooh-lim-bo-layy lie down)

[Chorus
I ask, Limbo-Lady don't you ever fall
Never, she says except when love comes to call
Then she adds, Boy, I think you’re about to find out
Then she gives me the high sign and begins to shout
(instrumental)

[Verse 3]
We laugh as the moonlight paints her skin gold
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
She takes my hand like a story untold
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Drums in the distance keep time with our feet
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
She pulls me closer where night and heartbeats meet
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)

[Chorus]
I ask, Limbo-Lady don't you ever fall
Never, she says except when love comes to call
Then she adds, Boy, I think you’re about to find out
Then she gives me the high sign and begins to shout

[Verse 4]
We walk by the shoreline, while waves kiss the sand
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
She leans on my shoulder, I don’t understand
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
How a moment like this could feel so right
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Till she leads me away from the fading light
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
[Verse 5]
Morning sun through the window, she’s gone away
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Just the scent of her perfume and light of day
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
No note, no whisper, no reason to stay
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Just Limbo-Lady dancing into yesterday
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
[Outro]
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
Limbo Lady, Limbo Lady lie down
(Ooh limbo-lady lie down)
