The Tenth World Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

Dance to my rumba 

Beat it [maybe a drum?], enjoy, look mama [maybe meaning "look at me and learn the steps."] 

Dance, look mama 

Beat it, enjoy, look 

Dancing the rumba beautifully. That's how I go. 

Hey hey mama 

Dance to it, dance 

Dance 

Dance this way [This a tentative translation, the expression I hear is actually unidiomatic] 

Dance to it, dance 

A Venezuelan in New York [maybe referring to himself] 

In California and everywhere 

I bring it to you [the rumba] 

So that you will enjoy a good thing 

Enjoy it with the rest of the world 

With the African and the rest of the world 

Dance to it 

Gringos! [This is funny. "Gringo" is a pejorative way that some South Americans have to refer to Anglo-Saxons. It's clear that some Americans are actually dancing to the music in the studio and receiving instructions from the singer, including this veiled semi-insult. Was Joni there too?] 

Left! Left! [maybe meaning use your left foot now] 

I say, Come on! 

I'm going now! [Or it could also be I'm "coming"!]
