Original Broadway Cast Tango Maureen Lyrics:
JOANNE
Mark?
MARK
Hi.
JOANNE
I told her not
to call you
MARK
That's Maureen
But can I help
since I'm here
JOANNE
I hired and
engineer. . .
MARK
Great!
Well, nice to
have met you
JOANNE
Wait!
She's three hours late
The samples
won't delay
But the cable -
MARK
There's another way
Say something
- Anything
JOANNE
Test - One, two,
three. . .
MARK
Anything but that
JOANNE
This is weird
MARK
It's weird
JOANNE
Very weird
MARK
Fuckin' weird
JOANNE
I'm so mad
That I don't
know what to do
Fighting with
microphones
Freezing down
to my bones
And to top it all off
I'm with you
MARK
Feel like
going insane?
Got a fire in
your brain?
And you're
thinking of
drinking
gasoline?
JOANNE
As a matter of fact -
MARK
Honey, I know the act
It's called,
the 'Tango
Maureen'
The Tango Maureen
It's a dark, dizzy
merry-go-round
As she keeps
you dangling
JOANNE
You're wrong
MARK
Your heart she
is mangling
JOANNE
It's different with me
MARK
And you toss
and you turn
'Cause her cold
eyes can burn
Yet you yearn
and you churn
and rebound
JOANNE
I think I know
what you mean

BOTH
The Tango Maureen
MARK
Has she ever
Pouted her lips
And called
you 'Pookie'
JOANNE
Never
MARK
Have you ever
doubted a kiss
or two?
JOANNE
This is spooky
Did you swoon
When she walked
through the
door?
MARK
Every time - so
be cautious
JOANNE
Did she moon
over other
boys--?
MARK
More than moon--
JOANNE
I'm getting nauseous
MARK
It's hard to do
this backwards.
JOANNE
You should try
it in heels!
She cheated
MARK
She cheated
JOANNE
Maureen cheated
MARK
Fuckin' cheated
JOANNE
I'm defeated
I should give
up right now
MARK
Gotta loko on the
bright side
With all of your might
JOANNE
I'd fall for her
still anyhow
BOTH
When you're
dancing her dance
You don't
stand a chance
Her grip of romance
Makes you fall
MARK
So you think,
'might as well'
JOANNE
'Dance the
Tango to Hell'
BOTH
'At least I'll
have Tangoed at
all'
The tango Maureen
Gotta dance til
your diva is
through
You pretend to
believe her
Cause in the
end - you can't
leave her
But the end
it wil come
Still you have
to play dumb
Til you're glum
and you bum
And turn blue
MARK
Why do we love
when she's
mean?
JOANNE
And she can be
so obscene
MARK
Try the mike
JOANNE
My Maureen
(een, een, een.
. .)
MARK
Patched
JOANNE
Thanks
MARK
You know - I
feel great now!
JOANNE
I feel lousy
BOTH
The Tango: Maureen!
