Manana - LaVern Baker

Hey the faucet she is dripping and the fence she's falling down

My pocket needs some money so I can't go into town

My brother isn't working and my sister doesn't care

The car she needs a motor so I can't go anywhere

Manana manana manana is soon enough for me

My mother's always working she is working very hard

But every time she looks for me I'm sleeping in the yard

My mother thinks I'm lazy and maybe she is right

I'll go to work manana but I gotta sleep tonight

Manana manana manana is soon enough for me

Oh once I had some money but I gave it to my friend

He said he'd pay me double it was only for a lend

But he said a little later the horse she was so slow

Why he give the horse my money is something I don't know

Manana manana manana is soon enough for me

My brother took a suitcase and he went away to school

My father said he only learned to be a silly fool

My father said that I should learn to make a chilly pot

But then I burned the house down the chilly she was too hot

Manana manana manana is soon enough f
