Spanish Rose
Lyricist：Lee Adams, Charles Strouse
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! Okay, Mae 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 will 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
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

Me 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 rose isn't wise
Your match you have found
So don't mess around
Her heart she cold like ice
With Albert I will dance to the bolero
We'll cha cha in the nicest honky tonks
He'll wear the cutest mustache and sombrero
My handsome Latin lover from the Bronx
So now that you've met Spanish rose
You'll never forget Spanish rose
She'll taunt you
She'll tame you but what man would blame you
For worshiping Spanish rose
Not Danish
Not British
Not Swedish
Not Yiddish
But Spanish Rosa
