Lyrics
- Sweet muchacha, belle of Spain
Flirting at your window pane
Won’t you smile on me again
Sweet muchacha, mine?
When your dark eyes start to roll
I begin to lose control
Come and teach me Espanol
Sweet muchacha, mine.
Ah, Play a lover’s part
Ah, Lady, have a heart
Sweet muchacha, pity me
Must I climb your balcony?
Throw me down that front door key
Sweet muchacha, mine
Chorus
Senorita, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sweet Senorita, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
How about a little walk around the plaza?
After that we’ll sit and talk on your piazza
Senorita, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sweet Senorita, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I could use a little kiss, why you no wanna?
Tell me whatcha mean by this si, si, manana
- Sweet muchacha, sweet mama
Don’t you need a sweet papa
Who can do that hot-cha-cha
Sweet muchacha, mine?
You could give my eyes a treat
Come, and do that rhumba beat
Do it hot, but do it sweet
Sweet muchacha, mine
Ah, play your mandolin
Ah, Lady, I give in
Sweet muchacha, belle of Spain
Must I wait out here in vain?
Let me in, it looks like rain
Sweet muchacha, mine
Sweet muchacha, mine
