She's A Latin From Manhattan 1935 'Go Into Your Dance'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 May 2002

Fate sent her to me over the sea from Spain,
Ah! She's the one in a million for me.
I found my romance when
she went dancing by,
Ah! 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,
you can tell by her "Manyana",
She's a Latin from Manhattan
and not Havana.
Tho' she does the rhumba for us
and she calls herself Dolores,
She was in a Broadway chorus
Known as Susie Donahue.
She can take a 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 'FortySecond Streeter,'
She's a Latin from Manhattan,
Señorita Donahue.

She's a Latin from Manhattan,
you can tell by her "Manyana",
She's a Latin from Manhattan
and not Havana.
Tho' she does the rhumba for us
and she calls herself Dolores,
She was in a Broadway chorus
Known as Susie Donahue.
She can take a 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 'FortySecond Streeter,'
She's a Latin from Manhattan,
Señorita Donahue.

With her castanets somehow she gets
the spirit of those wonderful ladies
from Spain.
As I watch her show each night
I know so well that she has never seen Cadiz,
it's plain.
Oh, her Spanish makeup is a gem
But like a good gringo
She cackles a lingo
You hear at the Bronx and The Stem.

She's a Latin from Manhattan,
you can tell by her "Manyana",
She's a Latin from Manhattan
and not Havana.
Tho' she does the rhumba for us
and she calls herself Dolores,
She was in a Broadway chorus
Known as Susie Donahue.
She can take a 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 'FortySecond Streeter,'
She's a Latin from Manhattan,
Señorita Donahue.
