Spanish Harlem

There's a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal
It looks down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
Begging your pardon
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm gonna pick that rose
And watch it as it grows
In my garden

That rose in Spanish Harlem
That rose in Spanish Harlem

There's a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose in Spanish Harlem
It never sees the sun
It only comes up when the moon is on the run
And stars are gleaming
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It's growing in the street
And looking very sweet
In the pale moon

That rose in Spanish Harlem
That rose in Spanish Harlem

There's a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose in Spanish Harlem
It never sees the sun
It only comes up when the moon is on the run
And stars are gleaming
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm gonna pick that rose
And watch it as it grows
In my garden

That rose in Spanish Harlem
That rose in Spanish Harlem
That rose in Spanish Harlem
