The Lyrics

A tribute to the 1994 film, The Mask.
Her name was Tina, she was a showgirl
Looking sultry on the stage
Her boyfriend kept her in a cage
He was a gangster, a small-time scammer
But when he tried to rob a bank
That was when his fortunes sank

‘Cause some guy in a mask
Who didn’t think to ask
Beat him to it, then he went
To Tina’s club to bask

At the Coco
The Coco Bongo
The hottest club west of the Congo
At the Coco
The Coco Bongo
Violent actions and legal infractions
At the Coco
She fell in love

His name was Niko, he swung a golf club
Told Tina’s boyfriend to get out
It really made him want to shout
And get revenge on, the masked offender
So he finally tracked him down
And then tied up that dancing clown

And then the mask was his
And then this gangster wiz
Said it’s payback time for Nico
Now a bloodbath is

At the Coco
The Coco Bongo
The hottest club west of the Congo
At the Coco
The Coco Bongo
Violent actions and legal infractions
At the Coco
No place for love

His name was Stanley, he was in handcuffs
But his dog helped him escape
He knew that this was quite a scrape
He had to get back and set things right now
So he snuck into the place
And got the mask back on his face

But Tina was afraid
The bomb her boyfriend made
Might have killed her, but then Stanley
Gulped it up, well played!

At the Coco
The Coco Bongo
The hottest club west of the Congo
At the Coco
The Coco Bongo
Violent actions and legal infractions
At the Coco
They found their love
