A little Bossa Nova Beat for your frosty, frozen feet...
Tonto Town is a mystical, magical place that you can go to when your heart and soul have been chilled by Winter's wicked wind. You'll find it in a warm and sunny valley in Arizona protected by the Superstition Mountains that guard those who go there seeking refuge from the ice and snow.
Here is your ticket to Tonto Town
Lyrics
Cactus Dance...words and music by John Jump
Oh, the city is cold tonight
The freezing frost has such a bite
You want to be rescued by a fire
But there’s no fireplace is sight
It just doesn’t seem right
To be so cold on a night like this
Chorus:
Let’s drive south of Tucson town
We’ll watch the sun go down
leave the ice and snow behind
While the cactus dance in the moonshine
Now there’s a place that I know
A warmer place where we can go
A place where the skies are always blue
And there’s plenty of space
For a friendly face
To make best friends with the sun and the moon
Chorus:
Let’s drive south of Tucson town
We’ll watch the sun go down
leave the ice and snow behind
While the cactus dance in the moonshine
Hear the coyote’s lonely call
Now and then a star will fall
While the moon gives your face a heavenly glow
So, let’s pack up the car tonight
We’ll be south by morning light
And never look back at the ice and the snow
