Hot mango flush.

Ladies with ice cream hair

Gyroscopic pink neon beams

Everybody's happy about something.

The crowd moves like a flock of starlings:

They switch direction as one.

Jive on the jukebox Jack and Joker

Split the night air with whoop and holler.

Faint aroma wood smoke, old fish,

Diesel harbour, roadside mongrel,

Painted man with buttons barely

Holding, bursting belly bulging.

Hot mango flush.

Doe-eyed ragamuffin mumbling

Scolded for some vague infraction.

Stole a penny candy-colored

Sweetheart kiss down at the market.

Down at the market all the world

Seems to simmer:

Hot mango flush.

Hot mango flush.

Ladies with ice cream hair

Gyroscopic pink neon beams

Everybody's happy about something.

The crowd moves like a flock of starlings:

They switch direction as one.

Jive on the jukebox Jack and Joker

Split the night air with whoop and holler.

Stole a penny candy-colored

Sweetheart kiss down at the market.

Down at the market all the world

Seems to simmer:

Hot mango flush. Hot mango flush.
