[Intro]
Yeah, mmmm
Teah
Yeah (Get up)
Mmmm
Yeah (Get up)
Mmmm

[Verse 1]
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 on the factory wall
And when the gentlemen retire
Guess who's in control?
She blew your money
On taking a cruise
If that isn't funny
Well, watch out teacher

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

[Verse 2]
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
She's on the evening news
And if you dare 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

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Doo, doo, doo
Ooh, ooh
Doo, doo, doo
Ooh, ooh
Doo, doo, doo

[Verse 3]
You might adopt an attitude
Look on the moral side
But if police are 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!

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente
Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente
Ooh, ooh...

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.
