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

ls Allentown, PA
Spanish!
0k, 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 cuca racha
8555 so
Call me the wild

Spanish Rose!
The craziest f1ower that grows
I'll kick up my heels and see

How it feels to be
Sultry Spanish Rose
Behind my mantilla I'II pose
The beauty that nobody knows!

So regal and cool
Exciting and cruel,
Thafs me! Spanish Rose
(My name Bessie Mae Mucho!)
(Sister of Spanish beauty

Kay Sera!)
(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 is cold as ice!
With Albert I will dance
To the bolero

We'll cha cha
In the nicest honkytonks
He'll wear a little 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 can blame you
For worshiping Spanish Rose.
Not Danish
Not British

Not Swedish
Not Yiddish
But Spanish
Rose!
