Pretty Senorita - Thomas K. White Lyrics
Pretty Senorita
[Gut string intro]
[1] Went downtown…to look around…
When I got lost…down this little backstreet…
In the distance…a song was playing…
Didn’t know what they were saying…
But I sure….liked the beat…
Da da da…da da da da da… da da da..da
[2] Went inside…was having a good time
This woman walked over and sat by me…
Speakin’ Spanish while I smiled like a fool…
Doing my durndest to be cool…
Noddin my head….si’….si’
When finally I said…
CHORUS
No hablo…no Española…
All that I know is you’re a pretty Senorita
Da da da…da da da da da… da da da..da
Da da da…da da da da da…. da da da..da
[3] I ordered up some whiskey for both of us
By now I was lost in her brown eyes…
Thought she was about to leave…
When she stood up…and looked at me…
And to my surprise…she said…
CHORUS
No hablo…No English…
All that I know …. want to dance with you Gringo
Da da da…da da da da da… da da da..da
Da da da…da da da da da…. da da da..da
[Instumental Turn-A-Round][Modulation]
[3] Couldn’t say how long they played…
All I know is we danced till the last song…
In the distance a song was playin…
Didn’t know what they were sayin…
Songs of love…but I could be wrong…
CHORUS
No hablo…no Española…
All that I know is you’re a pretty Senorita
Da da da…da da da da da… da da da..da
Da da da…da da da da da…. da da da..da
Da da da…da da da da da… da da da..da
Da da da…da da da da da…. da da da..da
FADE MUSIC OVER:
Da da da…da da da da da… da da da..da
Da da da…da da da da da…. da da da..da
