Jim Dixon 1950s novelty songs (266* d) Lyr Add: NEVER DO A TANGO WITH AN ESKIMO (A Cogan) 23 Aug 16


This was quoted by MikeofNorthumbria on 23 Oct 2008. I found it on Spotify.


NEVER DO A TANGO WITH AN ESKIMO
Written by Tommie Connor.
As recorded by Alma Cogan, 1955.

You must never do a tango with an Eskimo.
No, no, no! Oh, dear, no!
When a lady from Nebraska's
At a party in Alaska,
She must never do a tango with an Eskimo.

You can do it with a Latin
From Manila to Manhattan.
You can do it with a gaucho in Brazil,
But if once those Eskimoses
Start to wiggle with their toeses,
You can bet your life you're gonna get a chill.

You can never do a tango with an Eskimo.
No, no, no! Oh, dear, no!
If you do you'll get the breeze up
And you'll end up with a freeze up.
You must never do a tango with an Eskimo.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

You must never do a tango with an Eskimo.
No, no, no! Oh, dear, no!
When a lady from Nebraska's
At a party in Alaska,
She must never do a tango with an Eskimo.

You can do it with a sailor
From Peru to Venezuela.
You can do it with Apaches in Paree,
But if once an Eskimozee
Starts to cuddle up so cozy,
You'll find your passion cooling, yessiree.

You can never do a tango with an Eskimo,
No, no, no! Oh, dear, no!
If you do you'll get the breeze up,
And you'll end up with a freeze up.
You must never do a tango with an Eskimo.
No, no, no, oh no, no, no!
Never do a tango with an Eskimo.
No, no, no!
