Extra! Extra! Sammy Gaybar rewords 'Cabo Wabo' for 'Best Of Both Worlds' release!
Van Halen - Cabo Cabana
(Hagar/Manilow)
(Taken from the upcoming Van Halen album "Best Of Both Worlds")
His name was David, he was The Showman
With yellow feathers in his mask, and a microphone to spare
He would take a flying leap from the drum riser
And while he tried to reach the stars, Eddie always raised the bar
Across the front-row floors, they worked 'til '84
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more
Chorus:
There wasn't Cabo, Cabo Cabana
Who knew that this'd be a disastah
Here at the Cabo, Cabo Cabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
Until Cabo
They fell in love
Cabo, Cabo Cabana
His name was Sammy, he ain't no 'Diamond'
He was invited to share, a concert with Van Halen there
And when they finished, he called Ed over
But Sammy went a bit too far, and sailed across the stars
And then the punches flew, and guitars were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
Ed said: Dave shot you!
{Chorus}
Ed lost his love
Cabo, Cabo Cabana
Cabo, Cabo Cabana
Cabo Cabana
Cabo, Cabo Cabana
Ed with Red Rocker
Was a shocker
Music and passion, no longer in fashion
His name is David, he's still The Showman
And that was 30 years ago, when Van Halen used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for David
Still in the clothes he used to wear, with streaked, long, blond hair
But Eddie sits there so refined, and drinks himself half blind
He lost his youth and he lost his lead singer
Now he lost his mind
{Chorus}
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
Cabo Cabana
Cabo Cabana
Cabo, Cabo Cabana
Cabo Cabana (repeat 'til fade)
