[00:00.91] When Salome Plays The Drum
[00:01.86] By: Jimmy Buffett
[00:02.78] 1981
[00:09.29] For Salome, Freddo and Clauvis
[00:13.87] When Salome plays the drum
[00:15.60] Crowd goes deaf and dumb
[00:18.43] Swept up by dark sensations
[00:21.21] Partially the heat
[00:24.91] More so it's the beat
[00:27.68] She moves in syncopation
[00:31.40] Gazelle on the run
[00:34.16] Skirts slit past her thigh
[00:36.96] Boys let out a sigh
[00:39.65] The beat begins to quicken
[00:44.35] Crowd ascends the stairs
[00:46.18] Climbin' on the chairs
[00:48.92] The plot begins to thicken
[00:52.62] Phasers on stun
[00:55.33] Chorus:
[00:56.28] Take them to the carnival (take them to the carnival)
[01:00.93] Let them hear the conga
[01:01.80] Tonight the tempo feels so right
[01:04.62] Tomorrow may be wrong-a
[01:10.13] (Instrumental)
[01:34.98] Gendarme close her down
[01:37.77] Make her leave the town
[01:40.55] She caught the flight to Rio
[01:44.29] Nothin' to say
[01:46.03] Wavin' from the plane
[01:50.67] Pourin' pink champagne
[01:52.56] She toasts her loyal trio
[01:57.15] It was a lucrative stay
[01:58.93] Ooh take them to the carnival (take them to the carnival)
[02:03.55] Let them hear the conga
[02:06.34] Tonight the tempo feels so right
[02:09.00] Tomorrow may be wrong-a
[02:12.76] Oh won't you take them to the carnival (take them to the carnival)
[02:15.57] Let them play for hours
[02:18.21] Tonight the weather feels so right
[02:21.08] Tomorrow (tomorrow) feels like showers
