The Soul of Carmen Miranda |
| Since the soul of Carmen Miranda had captured the mind of man |
| Dismissed with her generation for the price of a can-can |
| Consigned to the sideshows of history, with the patronized orphans of film |
| She seeded the bait and offered the faint hope of chance to innocent men |
| In love with the trance of her dances |
| And abandoned by them |
| And abandoned by them |
| She called in the boys |
| She remembered their names, and the sorry condition they came in |
| The dances were soiled, they spun and recoiled |
| From the master tapdancer inside them, beside them |
| The soul of Carmen Miranda had captured the mind of man |
| Dismissed with her generation for the price of a can-can |
| The soul of Carmen Miranda for the price of a can-can |
| The soul of Carmen Miranda for the price of a can-can |
