|
Fate sent her to me over the sea from Spain
|
And she is one in a million for me
|
I found my romance when she went dancing by
|
And she must be a Castillian, s? s?br> Is she from Havana or Madrid?
|
But something about her is making me doubt 'er
|
I think I remember the kid, yeah!
|
|
She's a Latin from Manhattan
|
I can tell by her 'Man-ya-na"
|
She's a Latin from Manhattan
|
But not Havana
|
Though she does the rhumba for us
|
And she calls herself Dolores
|
She was in a Broadway chorus
|
Known as Suzy Donahue
|
|
She can take her tambourine and whack it
|
But to her it's just a racket
|
She's a hoofer from Tenth Avenue
|
|
She's a Latin from Manhattan
|
She's a Forty-Second Streeter
|
She's a Latin from Manhattan
|
Se?rita Donahue
