Lyrics

I just found the sweetest kind of a baby
Met her at the Spanish dancers ball
She’s the queen of vamps and I don’t mean maybe
When she steps out in her Spanish Shawl
She’s just as fair as a lily
And driving me daffy dilly
‘Neath her window almost every evening
You will hear me serenade this call
Sweet Señorita, I’m lonesome and blue
You are my dream girl, I love only you
Soon you’ll hear the band a-playing fandangoes
For a gladiators wedding ball
Soon you’ll see a lot of little by-jingoes
Me my baby and her Spanish Shawl
That’s all
