[Verse 1]

Buckshot, blue smoke, warning simple country folk

In a field could the village yield up a sacred cow

It doesn't matter now

Gutshot, heartbroke, muezzin hymning a country joke

Lights out for the last devout

We too could disavow


[Pre-Chorus]

It doesn't matter now


[Chorus]

I sipped the cola in Babylon

Ran for home

Get up on it

Carry on dancing and cheating

The hearts are repeating

I'm going as fast as I can

Cola mambo!


[Verse 2]

Moon shot up there

Blood red bauble in the country air

Caps doffed for the cancers offed

We dare don't ask how

It doesn't matter now

Hotshots (hotshots!) past caring

Stone cold blooded at the country fair

And the guerrillas gunning with the limo running

And a nod from Mao


[Pre-Chorus]

It doesn't matter now


[Chorus]

I sipped the cola in Jeddah

And Tehran was home

Get up on it

It's better to be dancing and cheating

The hearts are repeating

I'm going as fast as I can

Cola mambo!


[Verse 3]

Rimshot (rimshot!) hard toil

Bubbling up below the country soil

And there ain't no score till we need it more

Than they might allow

It doesn't matter now

Bloodshot (bloodshot!) hot bucket

Wrap your pretty kisser round the pipe and suck it

Semtex drips down your sad old lips

Like Rimmel on a sow


[Pre-Chorus]

It doesn't matter now


[Chorus]

I sipped the cola in London town

Ran for home

Get up on it

And come on down

Dancing and cheating

The hearts are repeating

I’m going as fast as I can

Cola mambo!


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

Cola mambo!
