Night of the Iguana |
| The tour bus came yesterday |
| The driver’s a mess today |
| It’s a dump of a destiny |
| But it’s got a view |
| Now the kid in the see-through blouse |
| She’s moving in hard on his holy vows |
| Since the preacher’s not dead |
| Dead drunk will have to do! |
| Night of the iguana |
| The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet |
| Night of the iguana |
| Can you hear the castanets? |
| The widow is dancing |
| Down on the beach |
| The starlight is steaming |
| He’d like to be dreaming |
| His senses are screaming |
| Not to be denied |
| But if the spell of the night should win |
| He could lose his bus |
| For the same sweet sin |
| That took his church from him |
| Then how will he survive? |
| Night of the iguana |
| The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet |
| Night of the iguana |
| Can you hear the castanets? |
| It’s the widow and her lover-boys |
| Down on the beach |
| Oh, the night is so fragrant |
| These women so flagrant |
| They could make him a vagrant |
| With the flick of a shawl |
| The devil’s in sweet sixteen |
| The widow’s good looking but she gets mean |
| He’s burning like Augustine |
| With no help from God at all |
| Night of the iguana |
