Spanish Rose Original Broadway Cast of Bye Bye Birdie (Ft. Chita Rivera)

[ROSIE]
I'm just a Spanish tamale according to Mae
Right off the boat from the tropics, far, far away
Which is kind of funny
Since where I come from is Allentown, PA

(spoken)
Spanish! Okay, Mae I'll be Spanish
Right after I've married Alberto

(sung)
I'll be the toast of chi-chi Costanango
And all day long my castanets will click
I'll hide behind my fan and do the tango
I'll be so Spanish it will make you sick

I'll eat the tacos and the enchilada
I'll drink tequila till I feel no pain
The only song I'll sing will be 'Granada'
I'll be more espanol than Abbe Lane

Coo coo coo
La cuca... racha
So call me the wild Spanish rose
The craziest flower that grows
I'll kick up my heels and see
How it feels to be sultry Spanish rose, ole
