Bye Bye Birdie |

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 "espanol" 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 |
|
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. |
