Spanish Harlem

(La-la-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

(La-la-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

(There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

It is the special one

It never sees the sun

It only comes up when the moon is on the run

And all the stars are gleaming

It's growing in the street

Right up through the concrete

But soft, sweet, and dreamy

(There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

With eyes as black as coal

That look down in his soul

And start a fire there, and then he loses control

I'm gonna beg his pardon yeah

He's going to pick that rose

And watch her as she grows

In his garden

(There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem, mmm)

With eyes as black as coal

That look down in his soul

And start a fire there, and then he loses control

And I wanna beg his pardon

He's going to pick that rose

And watch her as she grows

In his garden

(La-la-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

(La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la)

(La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la)

(La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la)
