Lyrics
[Intro] [Rawhide Bongo Slap & Conga Roll Foley]
Slap, roll... calfskin drumheads tight on the shell
More infectious than any words can tell
[Verse 1] [Noah & Melody Alternating]
[Noah] Macho and hembra drums locked between the knees
[Melody] Answering the calling of the silence breeze
[Noah] Open tones and finger rolls moving fast and tight
[Melody] Setting the tropical rhythm on fire tonight
[Both] Two pairs of dancing feet on the cedar stage
Writing our joy upon the music page
[Pre-Chorus] [Upright Bass & Snare Snap]
Maracas shaking with a crisp and cutting sound
The richest rhythm in the tavern found
[Chorus] [Primal Infectious Bongo Drop]
Rawhide bongo drums slapping a tropical Afro-Cuban beat
Lifting everybody up directly to their feet
Inside the tiki tavern on the silence sands
Spreading happy music through the island lands
Slap on, drum true, let the rhythm take control
Igniting all the fire in our soul
[Verse 2] [Felt Piano & Duet Vocal]
[Melody] You spin me round beneath the tiki thatch
[Noah] The greatest dancing partner you could match
[Both] We laugh together as the tempo climbs
Having the greatest of our island times
[Bridge] [Bongo Solo Battle & Tenor Sax Climax]
Oh, acoustic drums can set the spirit free
Echoing across the rolling sea
Bongos, dancing, silence and partner true
Grooving in the lounge next to you
[Chorus] [Full Grand Infectious Climax]
Rawhide bongo drums slapping a tropical Afro-Cuban beat
Lifting everybody up directly to their feet
Inside the tiki tavern on the silence sands
Spreading happy music through the island lands
Slap on, drum true, let the rhythm take control
Igniting all the fire in our soul
[Outro] [Bongo Drum Roll & Crowd Cheering]
Bongo drums on bamboo...
Tiki groove!
[Fade Out]
[End]
