Miss November Tuesday
Bend your rubber rules
Take your time, but don't take
Off your high heeled shoes
She's in demand at dinner time (she's in demand)
She's on the factory wall (she's up on the factory wall)
And when the gentlemen retire (when they retire)
Guess who's in control?
She blew your money
On taking a cruise
(If that isn't funny)
Well, watch out teacher

Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente

Dressed in flimsy clothing
Use your lipstick line
To colour fear and loathing
With a pink disguise
You've never refused when she lies back
Put a stripe on the Union and a star on the Jack
She's on the case at dinner time (at dinner time)
She's on the evening news (seen her on the evening news)
And if you dare step out of line (step out of line)
You're going to be abused
You may not like it
You may not be scared
But Hell has no fury like a
Young girl's ego

Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente

(Oo, oo)
(Doo-doo, doo)
(Oo, oo)
(Doo-doo, doo)
(Oo, oo)
(Doo-doo, doo)

You might adopt an attitude (attitude)
Look on the moral side (looking on the moral side)
But if police are after you (after you)
Where's the best place to hide?
For this production
They gave her a gun
Ain't no director, so
Watch out actors

Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
