Lyrics

[Verse 1] The tour bus came yesterday The driver's a mess today It's a dump of a destiny But it's got a view [Verse 2] Now the kid in the see-through blouse She's moving in hard on his holy vows Since the preacher's not dead Dead drunk will have to do [Chorus 1] Night of the iguana The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet Night of the iguana Can you hear the castanets? The widow is dancing down on the beach [Verse 3] The starlight is steaming He'd like to be dreaming His senses are screaming Not to be denied [Verse 4] But if the spell of the night should win He could lose his bus for the same sweet sin That took his church from him Then how will he survive? [Chorus 2] Night of the iguana The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet Night of the iguana Can you hear the castanets? It's the widow and her lover boys down on the beach [Verse 5] Oh, the night is so fragrant These women so flagrant They could make him a vagrant With the flick of a shawl [Verse 6] The devil's in sweet sixteen The widow's good looking but she gets mean He's burning like Augustine With no help from God at all [Outro] Night of the iguana
