Frenesi - Anita O'Day, Russell Garcia, Marty Paich

Some time ago

I wandered down into old Mexico

While I was there

I felt romance everywhere

Moon was shining bright

And I could hear laughing voices in the night

Everyone was gay

This was the start of their holiday

It was fiesta down in Mexico

And so I stopped a while to see the show

I knew that frenesi meant «Please love me»

And I could say frenesi

A lovely senorita caught my eye

I stood enchanted as she wandered by

And never knowing that it come from me

I gently sighed frenesi

She stopped and raised her eyes to mine

Her lips just pleaded to be kissed

Her eyes were soft as candle-shine

So how was I to resist?

And now without a heart to call my own

A greater happiness I’ve never known

Because her kisses are for me alone

Who wouldn’t say frenesi?
