Filipino Dance Hall Girl lyrics
When the evening shadows fall I'm dreaming of a certain smile a secret rendezvous
When the day is past and gone I'll come creeping
Down the dark end of the street again to you In a dimly lit cafe as we go dancing
I try to smile and hide a love that's true
Then they playa lovely tune as we're romancing
And I can't pretend no matter what I do
Dark and different so they tell me
It's forbidden so they say
But I just tell them we're so happy
She's my Filipino dance hall girl
Good friends have all withdrawn their salutations
Good neighbors pause when I come down the street
Preacher has a look of scorn on Sunday morning
And there's a frown on every face I see
Que sera sera the Bible tells me
Novus Ordo Seclorum so they say
I just tell them adios muchachos
She's my Filipino dance hall girl
Then she whispers while we're dancing
In a language soft and low
I just tell her darling I love you
You're my Filipino dance hall girl
