Jim Hoehn: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Here's a tantalizing tale I'm telling to you
Stranger than fiction, unbelievably true
When you see for yourself, then you'll know what I mean
I'm talking about the Dancing Flamingo Queens

They're middle-aged mamas with a keen sense of style
A "what the hell" attitude, backed with a smile
From coast to coast, and every town in between
They're all talking about the Dancing Flamingo Queens

    (chorus)
    They're dancin' every night in the light at the front of the stage
    The best thing about their act, is they never act their age

They've got a pink feather boa and a matching chapeau
Coordinated outfits wherever they go
And a choreographer mapping out their routines
Staying in step with the Dancing Flamingo Queens

Colorful costumes are the name of the game
A wardrobe that puts Liberace to shame
And their own light show, that's just a little obscene
Anatomically correct, the Dancing Flamingo Queens

Let me tell you 'bout the time that they went to Key West
They put 'em in the paper as the best of the fest
They spent the night with Jimmy Buffett, if only in his dreams
Those fantasy girls, the Dancing Flamingo Queens

(chorus)

They pal around with an Elvis and a comical priest
Played by Al Pacino when the movie's released
And they'll go to the premier, in those long limousines
When Hollywood calls the Dancing Flamingo Queens

The costumes are packed and the props are all stowed
It's time to take the show on the road
So tonight, tonight, they're down in New Orleans
Laissez les bons temps rouler with the Dancing Flamingo Queens

It's a tantalizing tale I'm telling to you
Stranger than fiction, unbelievably true
With the best set of moves since the Motown Supremes
The Caucasian version, the Dancing Flamingo Queens
They're the world famous Dancing Flamingo Queens
