The faucet she is dripping and the fence she's fallin' down My pocket needs some money, so I can't go into town My brother isn't working and my sister doesn't care The car she needs a motor so I can't go anywhere (maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)
My mother's always working, she's working very hard But every time she looks for me I'm sleeping in the yard My mother thinks I'm lazy and maybe she is right I'll go to work maana but I gotta sleep tonight (maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)
Oh, once I had some money but I gave it to my friend He said he'd pay me double, it was only for a lend But he said a little later that the horse she was so slow Why he give the horse my money is something I don't know (maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)
My brother took a suitcase and he went away to school My father said he only learned to be a silly fool My father said that I should learn to make a chile pot But then I burned the house down, the chile was too hot (maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)
The window she is broken and the rain is comin' in If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away And we don't need a window on such a sunny day (maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba! (maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!
