I'm just a Spanish tamale according to Mae
 Right off the boat from the tropics far far away
 Which is kind of funny
 Since where I come from is Allentown, Pa
 Spanish!
 Ok, may I'll be Spanish
 Right after I've married Alberto

 I'll be the toast of chi-chi Costanango,
 And all day long my castanets will click!
 I'll hide behind my fan and do the tango!
 I'll be so Spanish it'll make you sick!
 I'll eat the tacos and the enchilada!
 I'll drink Tequila till I feel no pain!
 The only song I'll sing will be "Granada"!
 I'll be more "espa?ol" than Abbe Lane!

 Coo coo coo
 La cuc.........racha
 Ssssso
 Call me the wild Spanish rose!
 The craziest flower that grows
 I'll kick up my heels and see
 How it feels to be sultry Spanish rose
 Ol?!

 Behind my mantilla I will pose
 The beauty that nobody knows!
 So regal and cool, exciting and cruel,
 That's me! Spanish rose

 (My name Rosita Hernandez!)
 (You'll buy my "tortilla"!)
 (You like me, yes? No? Maybe? "Eeyuckh!")

 "Americano" let me give you a bit of advice
 To cross Spanish do not twice
 Your match you have found
 So don't mess around
 Her heart is cold as ice!

 With Albert I will dance to the bolero
 We'll cha cha in the nicest honky tonks
 Hell wear a little mustache and sombrero
 My handsome Latin lover from the Bronx

 So now that you've met Spanish rose
 Never forget Spanish rose
 Shell taunt you,
 Shell tame you but what man can blame you
 For worshiping Spanish rose.

 Not Danish
 Not British
 Not Swedish
 Not Yiddish
 But span............................ish
