Spanish Rose |
Rosie: |
I’m just a Spanish tamale according to Mae |
Right off the boat from the tropics far far away |
Which is kind of funny |
Since where I come from is Allentown, Pa Spanish! |
Ok, may I’ll be Spanish |
Right after I’ve married Alberto |
I’ll be the toast of chi-chi Costanango, |
And all day long my castanets will click! |
I’ll hide behind my fan and do the tango! |
I’ll be so Spanish it’ll make you sick! |
I’ll eat the tacos and the enchilada! |
I’ll drink Tequila till I feel no pain! |
The only song I’ll sing will be «Granada»! |
I’ll be more «espa?ol"than Abbe Lane! |
Coo coo coo |
La cuc… racha |
Ssssso |
Call me the wild Spanish rose! |
The craziest flower that grows |
I’ll kick up my heels and see |
How it feels to be sultry Spanish rose |
Ol?! |
Behind my mantilla I will pose |
The beauty that nobody knows! |
So regal and cool, exciting and cruel, |
That’s me! |
Spanish rose |
(My name Rosita Hernandez!) |
(You'll buy my «tortilla»!) |
(You like me, yes? No? Maybe? «Eeyuckh!») |
«Americano"let me give you a bit of advice |
To cross Spanish do not twice |
Your match you have found |
So don’t mess around |
Her heart is cold as ice! |
With Albert I will dance to the bolero |
We’ll cha cha in the nicest honky tonks |
Hell wear a little mustache and sombrero |
My handsome Latin lover from the Bronx |
So now that you’ve met Spanish rose |
Never forget Spanish rose |
Shell taunt you, |
Shell tame you but what man can blame you |
For worshiping Spanish rose. |
Not Danish |
Not British |
Not Swedish |
Not Yiddish |
But span… ish |
Rosa! |
