MAÑANA recorded by Peggy Lee, 1948

The faucet she is dripping & the fence is 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;
My car, it needs a motor, so I can't go anywhere.

Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me. (Repeat.)

My mother, she is working, she is working very hard,
But every time she looks for me, I'm sleeping in the yard;
My mother says I'm lazy, and maybe she is right;
I'll go to work mañana, but I gotta sleep tonight.

Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me. (Repeat.)

Once I had some money, but I gave it to my friend.
He said he'd bring it back to me, that it was just a lend.
Next day he came & told me that the horse, it was too slow.
Why he gave that horse my money is something I don't know.

Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me. (Repeat.)

My brother took my 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 chili pot
But then I burned the house down the chili was too hot!

Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me.

The window, she is broken & the rain is pouring 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!

Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me. (Repeat.)
