Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

I’ve always been a restless rover
In search of femininity
I’ve met the pretty girls all over
But only one appealed to me
My loving heart I gayly tossed her
This Spanish kid in old Madrid
She captured me and then I lost her
And ever since I’m off my lid
I never will forget her face
I’m searching for her ev’ry place

Refrain
I’m looking for Titina, Titina, my Titina
I’ve searched from Palistina to London and Peru
I’ll die without Titina, I can’t eat my farina
I don’t want Rose or Lena, Titina I want you
Ah! Mama! Ah! Papa!
