Make Believe Mambo

David Byrne

It was a pretty picture

It almost made me cry

He's got Big imagination

It's better than real life



He can be a macho man

Now he's a game show host

One minute hilarious comedian

Now he's an undercover cop



Oh ? let the poor boy dream

Oh ? livin' make believe



So how can we be strangers

He's got no personality

It's just a clever imitation

Of the people on TV



A line for ev'ry situation

He's learnin' trivia and tricks

Havin' sex and eatin' cereal

Wearin' jeans and smokin' cigarettes now



Oh ? let the poor boy dream

Oh ? livin' make believe

Oh ? let the poor boy dream

Oh ? livin' make believe



I can be you and you can be me

In my mundo, todo el mundo

Ev'ryone's happy and ev'ryone's free

Todo mundo, mundo mambo

Here in my mundo where nothing is wrong

Todo mundo, in my mundo

I'll be a lady and you'll be a man

Mundo mambo, todo el mundo



Oh ? let the poor boy dream

Oh ? livin' make believe

In my mundo ? todo mundo

Mundo mambo ? in my mundo

Todo el mundo ? mundo mambo

Mundo mambo ? Todo mundo



Oh ? let the poor boy dream

Oh ? livin' make believe

Mundo mambo ? todo el mundo

In my mundo ? todo mundo

Todo el mundo ? mundo mambo

In my mundo ? mundo mambo
