Limbo (music and lyrics by Hugh Emerson) dedicated to M.W.H. Way down-a Caribbean way's a kind of game they play: Hold stick and go under it--it's like our love today I'll show you why, now: There down-a Caribbean way's a funny thing to do: Go low, bending over backwards, like I did for you, And there they call it Limbo, We're talking limbo, It's both a game you play And where you stay When halfway in the middle of A permanent or an ending love. I say I am ready for us to last; You make your mind up. Please do it fast, And be my ex, or be my wife, So I can go on with my life. You don't live there, you live here, so you have no excuse. Stop playing these games with me; it's the worst kind of abuse! I'll call the hot line! Up here in America we like it cold or hot; We say, "when in water closet, go or get off the pot", But just don't stay in Limbo, We're talking limbo, It's both a game you play And where you stay When halfway in the middle of A permanent or an ending love. I say I am ready for us to last; You make your mind up. Please do it fast, And be my ex, or be my wife, So I can go on with my life. If you think that it is best that our affair should end, I hope that you don't expect I can still be your friend. Don't even ask me! I still think that it is best that we two should be one, And I hope that someday will the damage be undone From all the time in Limbo, We're talking limbo, It's both a game you play And where you stay When halfway in the middle of A permanent or an ending love. I say I am ready for us to last; You make your mind up. Please do it fast, And be my ex, or be my wife, So I can go on with my life. You said you would be with me until the end of time; That kind of a promise leaves no room to change your mind, But here we are in Limbo, We're talking limbo, It's both a game you play And where you stay When halfway in the middle of A permanent or an ending love. I say I am ready for us to last; You make your mind up. Please do it fast, And be my ex, or be my wife, So I can go on with my life. If you fin'lly leave me, maybe it is just as well; We won't be in Limbo, so feel free to go to... Someplace that isn't Limbo, We're talking limbo, It's both a game you play And where you stay When halfway in the middle of A permanent or an ending love. I say I am ready for us to last; You make your mind up. Please do it fast, And be my ex, or be my wife, Just let me go on with my life!
