De La Noche / Ocho Rios

GENRE
[Part 1: De La Noche (Woman of the Night)]
[Verse 1]
Some may remember
Most choose to forget
The name that set a decade on fire
It was late December
1965
Thank God that some of us survived
[Refrain]
De La Noche (De La Noche is the woman of the night)
(De La Noche is the woman)
De La Noche (De La Noche is the woman of the night)
(De La Noche is the woman)
[Verse 2]
Once there was a woman
Desperate to find out
A purpose and the reason to what life was all about
She searched the country
Love was in her soul
Passion for desire but lust to control
[Refrain]
De La Noche (De La Noche is the woman of the night)
(De La Noche is the woman)
De La Noche (De La Noche is the woman of the night)
(De La Noche is the woman)
[Segue]
It's cool
It's calm
It's quiet

[Part 2: Ocho Rios]
[Intro]
Oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh
Oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
I said "oh-oh" (Oh)
In O-o-cho Rios. (Oh-oh)
Fun in the sun, champagne for one...me. (Oh-oh)
He whispered "no-no" (Oh)
In O-o-cho Rios. (Oh-oh)
I begged him to stay "please don't go away from me." (Oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried Montego
I tried Acapulco
I tried...there was nothing there. (There was nothing there)
So meanwhile I got a tan and looked for a man for me. (Lookin' for a man for me)
I searched Encino
I searched Portofino
I searched...still there was nothing there. (There was nothing there)
Then suddenly I found the man for me. (Suddenly, I found the man)
[Chorus]
I met a negro in O-o-cho Rios! (O-o-cho Rios)
He played me the flute in his blue bathing suit
By the bay
We drank rum and coco (Run and coco)
In O-o-cho Rios
I tried to ignore his muscles galore each day
[Interlude]
Hey. Looking for something?
[Pre-Chorus]
You see
I played it cool
I laid by the pool in red. (Laid by the pool in red)
He sent me [?] note
I went out on his boat
[?] just to see the view
That's one thing that a good girl doesn't do. (That's one thing that a good girl doesn't do)
[Interlude]
A-ooh
A-ooh
A-ooh
A-ooh
A-ooh, a-ooh!
You like Jamaica? Jamaica likes you
You like me? I like you
Look at me
Look at me
Look. At. Me

[Chorus]
Negro from O-o-cho Rios!
Hung like a mule
Oh, what a tool had he
He ripped off my muumuu (ripped off my muumuu)
In O-o-cho Rios
He took me hard and fast
I prayed that it would last for me
Ooh
[Bridge]
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Don't come any closer
I can't, I can't, I can't
Wooooooooohhhhhh
Oooooooooohhhhhh-
[Chorus]
Negro from O-o-cho Rios!
I was a fool
He was so cruel to me!
I'll never forget (I'll never forget)
That day that I met
That negro, woooooahhh!
(Yeah?)
From O-o-cho Rios!
