|
|
(Male singer)
|
Tangerine,
|
She is all they claim
|
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
|
Tangerine,
|
When she dances by
|
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
|
And I've seen
|
Toasts to Tangerine
|
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
|
Yes, she has them all on the run
|
But her heart belongs to just one
|
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
|
|
(Female singer)
|
Tangerine,
|
She is all they say
|
With mascara'd eye and chapeaux by Dache.
|
Tangerine,
|
With her lips of flame
|
If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame.
|
And I've seen
|
Clothes on Tangerine
|
Where the label says "From Macy's Mezzanine".
|
Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl
|
But she's only fooling one girl
|
She's only fooling Tangerine!
