Rent the Musical - Tango: Maureen Lyrics
JOANNE (spoken)
Mark?
MARK (spoken)
Hi
JOANNE
I told her not to call you
MARK
That's Maureen, but can I help since I'm here
JOANNE (spoken)
I've hired an engineer
MARK (spoken)
Great! Well then, nice to have...
JOANNE (spoken)
Wait! She's 3 hours late
JOANNE
The samples won’t delay but the cable-
MARK
There’s another way
Say something, anything
JOANNE
Test 1,2,3
MARK
Anything but that
JOANNE
This is weird
MARK
It’s weird
JOANNE
Very weird
MARK
Fucking 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 this act
It’s called the Tango: Maureen
The Tango: Maureen
It’s a dark, dizzy, merry go round
As she keeps you dangling (you’re wrong)
Your heart she is mangling (it’s different with me)
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
Where’d you learn to tango?
JOANNE
With the French ambassador's daughter in her dorm room at Ms. Porters
And you?
MARK
With Nanette Himmelfarb, the rabbi’s daughter at the Scarsdale Jewish community center
It’s hard to do this backwards
JOANNE
You should try it in heels
JOANNE
She cheated
MARK
She cheated
JOANNE
Maureen cheated
MARK
Fucking cheated
JOANNE
I’m defeated, I should give up right now
MARK
Gotta look 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 a 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 will 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 (spoken)
Try the mic
JOANNE (spoken)
My Maureen
MARK (spoken)
Patched!
JOANNE (spoken)
Thanks!
MARK (spoken)
You know, I feel great now!
JOANNE (spoken)
I feel lousy
BOTH
