She's a Latin from Manhattan - The Pasadena Roof Orchestra

Fate sent her to me, over the sea from Spain,

She’s one in a million to me.

I found my romance when she went dancing by,

She must be a Castillian, si si!

Is she from Havana or Madrid?

But something about her

Is making me doubt her,

I think I remember the kid!

She’s a Latin from Manhattan,

I can tell by her manana.

She’s a Latin from Manhattan,

But not Havana!

Though she does a rhumba for us,

And she calls herself Dolores,

She was in a Broadway,

Known as Susie Donahue.

She can take her tambourine and whack it,

But with her it’s just a racket,

She’s a hoofer from Tenth Avenue!

She’s a Latin from Manhattan,

She’s a Forty Second Streeter,

She’s a Latin from Manhattan,

Senorita Donahue.

Is she from Rio?

(No! No! No!)

Havana?

(No! No! No!)

Hamburg?

(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)

She’s a Latin from Manhattan,

You can tell by her manana.

She’s a Latin from Manhattan,

But not Havana!

Though she does a rhumba for us,

And she calls herself Dolores,

She was in a Broadway,

But with her it’s just a racket,

She’s a hoofer from Tenth Avenue!

She’s a Latin from Manhattan,
