MAANA (Is Soon Enough For Me)

Peggy Lee



The faucet she is dripping and the fence she's fallin' 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

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)



My mother's always working, she's 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 maana but I gotta sleep tonight

(maana, maana, maana 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 that the horse she was so slow

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

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

(maana, maana, maana 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 chile pot

But then I burned the house down, the chile was too hot

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)



The window she is broken and the rain is comin' in

If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin

But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away

And we don't need a window on such a sunny day

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!
