Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song When Salome Plays The Drum , by - Jimmy Buffett. Song from the album Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads, in the genre ПопWhen Salome Plays The Drum |
| When Salome plays the drum |
| Crowd goes deaf and dumb |
| Swept up by dark sensations |
| Partially the heat |
| More so it’s the beat |
| She moves in syncopation |
| Gazelle on the run |
| Skirts slit past her thigh |
| Boys let out a sigh |
| The beat begins to quicken |
| Crowd ascends the stairs |
| Climbin' on the chairs |
| The plot begins to thicken |
| Phasers on stun |
| Take them to the carnival (take them to the carnival) |
| Let them hear the conga |
| Tonight the tempo feels so right |
| Tomorrow may be wrong-a |
| (instrumental) |
| Gendarme close her down |
| Make her leave the town |
| She caught the flight to Rio |
| Nothin' to say |
| Wavin' from the plane |
| Pourin' pink champagne |
| She toasts her loyal trio |
| It was a lucrative stay |
| Ooh take them to the carnival (take them to the carnival) |
| Let them hear the conga |
| Tonight the tempo feels so right |
| Tomorrow may be wrong-a |
| Oh won’t you take them to the carnival (take them to the carnival) |
| Let them play for hours |
| Tonight the weather feels so right |
| Tomorrow (tomorrow) feels like showers |
