Mañana (Is Soon Enough for Me)

Mañana (Is Soon Enough for Me)

"Mañana (Is Good Enough for Me)" is a popular song that was written by Peggy Lee and Dave Barbour and published in 1947.

Peggy Lee also recorded the song, on November 25, 1947, with Dave Barbour's orchestra as backing. It was one of her biggest hits. The recording was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 15022. The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on January 23, 1948 and lasted 21 weeks on the chart, peaking at number one.[1]

Mañana is Spanish for "morning" or "tomorrow". The theme of the humorous song is the singer wanting to put off urgent tasks until the next day. The song is typically performed with stereotyped Hispanic accents, and with a Latin flavor to the backup band.[citation needed]

Other recordings by notable artists

Billy May covered the song in 1955 on his album Arthur Murray Cha Cha Mambos.
