Lyrics
0:01I'm just a Spanish tamale according to Mae
0:06Right off the boat from the tropics far far away
0:11Which is kind of funny
0:12Since where I come from is Allentown Pa
0:18Spanish Ok may I'll be Spanish
0:21Right after I've married Alberto
0:25I'll be the toast of chi-chi Costanango
0:29And all day long my castanets will click
0:33I'll hide behind my fan and do the tango
0:37I'll be so Spanish it'll make you sick
0:41I'll eat the tacos and the enchilada
0:45I'll drink Tequila till I feel no pain
0:49The only song I'll sing will be "Granada"
0:53I'll be more "espanol" than Abbe Lane
1:00Coo coo coo
1:03La cuc racha
1:11Ssssso
1:12Call me the wild Spanish rose
1:16The craziest flower that grows
1:19I'll kick up my heels and see
1:22How it feels to be sultry Spanish rose
1:42Behind my mantilla I will pose
1:45The beauty that nobody knows
1:49So regal and cool exciting and cruel
1:53That's me Spanish rose
2:00(My name Rosita Hernandez )
2:04(You'll buy my "tortilla" )
2:09(You like me yes No Maybe "Eeyuckh ")
2:14"Americano" let me give you a bit of advice
2:19To cross Spanish do not twice
2:23Your match you have found
2:25So don't mess around
2:27Her heart is cold as ice
2:31With Albert I will dance to the bolero
2:35We'll cha cha in the nicest honky tonks
2:39Hell wear a little mustache and sombrero
2:43My handsome Latin lover from the Bronx
2:46So now that you've met Spanish rose
2:50Never forget Spanish rose
2:54Shell taunt you
2:55Shell tame you but what man can blame you
2:58For worshiping Spanish rose
3:01Not Danish
3:03Not British
3:05Not Swedish
3:07Not Yiddish
3:09But span ish Rosa
