Lyrics
1. Dance madness is in the air
Tango music is everywhere
I’ve got the fever, but I don’t care
I love it more each day
A lovely lady, my heart’s delight
Dances with me most every night
With eyes a-gleaming and footsteps light
To her I sing this lay
Chorus:
My Rose of Argentine
My little Tango Queen
While we are dancing lightly
Then I will hold you tightly
And down life’s path so fair
We’ll glide without a care
With music crooning and flowers blooming
In bowers shady, my tango lady
My Rose of Argentine
2. At the close of each busy day
She and I are on our way
Where we can hear the music play
A dreamy tango tune
There is magic in every strain
The world’s forgotten in it’s refrain
There seems no place on the earth for pain
Life’s one long honeymoon
