The Tilingo Lingo

Oh how nice it is to dance
To the sound of Tilingo Lingo1
Where they can tap their feet,
The Chinese as well as the gringo
(2X)
 
Oh, ring ding ding
Ring and ringing out
So pretty, oh so pretty
All those who are dancing
 
Oh, tilín tilín tilín
Oh, tolón tolón tolón
So pretty, oh so pretty
The daughters of Don Simón
 
The sound of Tilingo lingo
It's such a spicy rhythm
That's danced with the style
Of La Bamba2 and Danzón3
(2X)
 
Oh ring ding ding
Ring and ringing out
So pretty, oh so pretty
All those who are dancing
 
Oh, tilín tilín tilín
Oh, tolón tolón tolón
So pretty, oh so pretty
The daughters of Don Simón
