No Time for a Tango
Snoopy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's too late. There is no time for a tango
You have to go home
Not even time for some love
Oh my husband will come
Besides I have a lumbago
From dancin' too long
And I have to do a mambo
With my man
There is no time for a tango
My man he is there
He's peepin' right through the window
You better take care
He jumps around like a jojo,
Now run if you can
Now it's time to do a tango with my man
So hard to give you all my love
(Shame on you, shame on you)
Cause my man is takin' all I've got
(It's not true, it's not true)
Don't wanna to wicked, you dig it
Don't wanna trick him
But Tango I can give enough
No, no, no time for a tango
You have to go home
Not even time for some love
Oh my husband will come
Besides I have a lumbago
Ftom dancin' too long
Now it's time to do a tango
With my man
So hard to give you all my love
(Shame on you, shame on you)
Cause my man is takin' all I've got
(It's not true, it's not true)
Don't wanna be wicked, you dig it
Don't wanna trick him
But Tango I can give enough
No, no, no time for a tango
My man he is there
He's peepin' right through the window
You better take care
He jumps around like a jojo,
Now run if you can
Now it's time to do a tango with my man
It's too late. There is no time for a tango
You have to go home
Not even time for some love
Oh my husband will come
Besides I have a lumbago
From dancin' too long
And I have to do a mambo with my man
No, no, no time for a tango
My man he is there
He's peepin' right through the window
You better take care
He jumps around like a jojo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Snoopy's song "No Time for a Tango" describe a woman who is unable to engage in a romantic tango with someone because her husband is due to come home soon. The woman implies that she has already danced too much, as she has developed a lumbago from too much dancing, but now she needs to do a mambo with her husband. She also mentions that her man is there and is watching her, meaning that she doesn't have any privacy to explore new romantic relationships. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation, as the woman desires to be with the person she's singing to, but she simply can't because of her husband and lack of time.


However, by the end of the song, the woman reveals that she doesn't want to deceive her husband and that she wants to be faithful to him. She insists that she can give the other person all the tango they want, but that she needs to go back to her husband. The song is a commentary on the complexity of love and the difficulties that come with maintaining a relationship.
