| 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.
