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 «espaсol» 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
Olй!
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!»)
