Spanish Harlem

La la la, la la la, la la la la

La la la, la la la, la la la la

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

It is a special one, it's never seen the sun

It only comes out when the moon is on the run

And all the stars are gleaming

I'm gonna pick that rose

Love is growin' in the street

Right through the concrete

Right through the concrete

Right through the concrete

Soft and dreaming

La la la, la la la, la la la la

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

With eyes as black as coal, he looks down in my soul

And starts a fire there, and then I lose control

I have to beg your pardon

I'm gonna pick that rose

I'm goin' to pick that rose

And watch him as he grows

In my garden (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

La la la, la la la, la la la la la (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

La la la, la la la, la la la la la (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

La la la, la la la, la la la la la (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
