Spanish Rose

歌詞

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 cucracha So 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 Ole' 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 spanish Rosa
