Lyrics

THE NIGHT NAOMI DANCED

Words and Music by Marc Farley c. 2003

Intro (guitar riff/ ?Ah-yai?/castanets)

1. The Gypsy caravan had come to town?the world stood still that night
Anticipation fired the air with an ancient magic light
The essence of her incense had no intent to cool ?ya
And all Hell broke loose? the night Naomi danced? her Belly-Hoola!

CHORUS

She went, ?Ah-yai?Ah-yai?Ah-yai?Ah-yai-yai-yai?.?


2. Mesmerized I watched her eyes sparkle as she danced
I sensed it in her snake-oiled skin, the calling of romance
To-and-fro in the amber glow, her angel-flight could fool ?ya
?Till Hell broke loose? the night Naomi danced?her Belly-Hoola!

*BRIDGE*

She went, ?Ah-yai?!?

Her castanets?split the night. Her feral charms?my heart?s delight
.
When I awoke?she was not there?but in my palm, a lock of raven gypsy hair?


3. Oh? I became a man that night so very long ago
I pray each day for her return?I miss my Gypsy so
In moonlit dreams I hold her on the shores of Wacky-Wooya
?Cause all Hell broke loose?the night Naomi danced? her Belly-Hoola!
CHORUS
