Balinese
Deep in the South of Texas
not so long ago,
there on a crowded island
in the Gulf of Mexico
it didn't take too much money,
man, but it sure was nice.
You could dance all night if you felt all right,
drinking whiskey and throwing dice.
And everybody knows
it was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
it was down at the Balinese.
Yeah, I remember Ruby,
she always dressed in red
wearing skintight pants, Lord, and how she could dance
with a rag wrapped around her head.
And everybody knows
it was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
it was down at the Balinese.
And everybody knows
it was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
it was down at the Balinese,
it was down at the Balinese,
it was down at the Balinese.
Balinesa
Lá no sul do Texas
não faz muito tempo,
ali em uma ilha lotada
no Golfo do México.
Não precisava de muito dinheiro,
homem, mas era bem legal.
Você podia dançar a noite toda se estivesse bem,
bebendo uísque e jogando dados.
E todo mundo sabe
que era difícil ir embora.
E todo mundo sabe
que era lá na Balinesa.
É, eu lembro da Ruby,
e ela sempre se vestia de vermelho
usando calças justas, meu Deus, e como ela dançava
com um pano amarrado na cabeça.
E todo mundo sabe
que era difícil ir embora.
E todo mundo sabe
que era lá na Balinesa.
E todo mundo sabe
que era difícil ir embora.
E todo mundo sabe
que era lá na Balinesa,
era lá na Balinesa,
era lá na Balinesa.
