Very weird

[MARK]
Fuckin' weird

 
[JOANNE]
I'm so mad
That I don't know what to do
Fighting with microphones
Freezing down to my bones
And to top it all off
I'm with you

 
[MARK]
Feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?

 
[JOANNE]
As a matter of fact --

Honey, I know this act
It's called the 'Tango Maureen'
The Tango Maureen
It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round
As she keeps you dangling

 
[JOANNE]
You're wrong

 
[MARK]
Your heart she is mangling

 
[JOANNE]
It's different with me

--------------------
[MARK]
And you toss and you turn
'Cause her cold eyes can burn
Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound

 
[JOANNE]
I think I know what you mean

 
[BOTH]
The Tango Maureen

 
[MARK]
Has she ever pouted her lips
And called you 'Pookie'

--------------------
[JOANNE]
Never

 
[MARK]
Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?

 
[JOANNE]
This is spooky
Did you swoon when she walked through the door?

 
[MARK]
Every time -- so be cautious

[JOANNE]
Did she moon over other boys --?

 
[MARK]
More than moon --

 
[JOANNE]
I'm getting nauseous
[They begin to dance, with MARK leading.]

 
[MARK]
Where'd you learn to tango?

--------------------
[JOANNE]
With the French Ambassador's daughter in her dorm
room at Miss Porter's. And you?

 
[MARK]
With Nanette Himmelfarb. The Rabbi's daughter at the
Scarsdale Jewish Community Center.

 
[They switch, and JOANNE leads.]
It's hard to do this backwards.

 
[JOANNE]
You should try it in heels!
She cheated

[MARK]
She cheated

 
[JOANNE]
Maureen cheated

 
[MARK]
Fuckin' cheated

 
[JOANNE]
I'm defeated
I should give up right now

--------------------
[MARK]
Gotta look on the bright side
With all of your might

 
[JOANNE]
I'd fall for her still anyhow

 
[BOTH]
When you're dancing her dance
You don't stand a chance
Her grip of romance
Make you fall

 
[MARK]
So you think, 'Might as well'

[JOANNE]
"Dance a tango to hell"

 
[BOTH]
'At least I'll have tangoed at all'
The Tango Maureen
Gotta dance till your diva is through
You pretend to believe her
Cause in the end -- you can't leave her
But the end it will come
Still you have to play dumb
Till you're glum and you bum
And turn blue

 
[MARK]
Why do we love when she's mean?

 
[JOANNE]
And she can be so obscene

[MARK]
You know -- I feel great now!

 
[JOANNE]
I feel lousy
[The pay phone rings. MARK hands it to JOANNE.]
Honey, we're... [pause] Pookie?!
You never call me Pookie...
Forget it, we're patched.

 
[She hangs up, looks at MARK.]

 
[BOTH]
The Tango Maureen!
