- _______
-
- Tangerine, she is all they
claim,
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame.
Tangerine, when she dances by,
- Senoritas stare and caballeros
sigh.
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine,
Raised in every bar across the Argentine.
Yes, she has them all on the run, but her heart belongs to just
one,
Her heart belongs to Tangerine.
