Johnny Mercer
Tangerine
[Intro]
South American stories
Tell of a girl who's quite a dream
The beauty of her race
Though you'll doubt all the stories
And think the tales are just a bit extreme
Wait 'til you see her face

[Verse 1]
Ooh, 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

[Verse 2]
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she's got them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 2]
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she's got them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
She's got them all on the run
Her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
[Outro]
Tangerine, Tangerine
Nectarine
Oh, figurine
Tangerine
