Lyrics Flamingo - Carmen McRae, Ben Webster

Flamingo

Flamingo, like a flame in the sky
Flying over the island
To my lover nearby
Flamingo, with your tropical hue
For it’s you I rely on
And the love that is true
The wind sings a song to you as you go
The song that I hear below
The murmuring heart
Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea
Say farewell to my lover
And hasten to me
Aah-ooh, aah-ooh, ooh-ooh
Flamingo…
Flamingo…
(Instrumental Break)
Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea
Say farewell to my lover
And hasten to me
Aah-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-aah
