Tangerine 1942 Nat King Cole

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Jun 2003

South American stories
tell of a girl who's quite a dream
the beauty of her race.
Though you doubt all the stories
and think the tales are just a bit extreme,
wait till you see her face.

Tangerine, she is all they claim
with her eyes of night
and lips as bright as flame.
Tangerine, when she dances by
Señoritas stare and caballeros sigh.
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
raised in ev'ry bar across the Argentine,
Yes, she has them all on the run
but her heart belongs to just one
her heart belongs to Tangerine.

Tangerine, she is all they claim
with her eyes of night
and lips as bright as flame.
Tangerine, when she dances by
Señoritas stare and caballeros sigh.
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
raised in ev'ry bar across the Argentine,
Yes, she has them all on the run
but her heart belongs to just one
her heart belongs to Tangerine.
