Lyrics

"CARMELITA"
(Stew Hooey)


CARMELITA COME TO ME, CARMELITA COME TO ME NOW
CARMELITA COME TO ME, CARMELITA COME TO ME RIGHT NOW-
(CARMELITA COME TO ME NOW, CARMELITA...)

CARMELITA WORKS DOWN BY THE PROMENADE,
SELLING TRINKETS MADE FROM BAUBLES, BEADS AND TWINE;
THOUGH HER AND I WERE BORN AND RAISED A WORLD APART,
THERE'S NO DOUBT WITHOUT HER, I'D BE FLYIN' BLIND

CARMELITA COULD YOU BE THAT ONE TRUE LOVE I NEED?
INTUITION TELLS ME THIS COULD BE-
THAT ONE IN A MILLION CHANCE, FOR WHICH WE'RE ALL WAITING-
CARMELITA COME WE'LL FLY AWAY

(CARMELITA COME TO ME NOW, CARMELITA...)

WHEN I PICK HER UP EACH NIGHT WE RIDE ALONG,
PAST THAT OLD BANDSHELL WHERE WE FIRST FELT THE SPARK-
OF A LOVE THAT FLAMES INTO A FIVE ALARM FIRE,
EVERY TIME OUR EYES MEET AFTER DARK

CARMELITA COULD YOU BE THAT ONE TRUE LOVE I NEED?
INTUITION TELLS ME THIS COULD BE-
THAT ONE IN A MILLION CHANCE, FOR WHICH WE'RE ALL WAITING-
CARMELITA COME WE'LL FLY AWAY

(CARMELITA COME TO ME NOW, CARMELITA...)


SOLO

CARMELITA COULD YOU BE THAT ONE TRUE LOVE I NEED?
INTUITION TELLS ME THIS COULD BE-
THAT ONE IN A MILLION CHANCE, FOR WHICH WE'RE ALL WAITING-
CARMELITA COME WE'LL FLY AWAY

(CARMELITA COME TO ME NOW, CARMELITA...)

CARMELITA COME TO ME, CARMELITA COME TO ME NOW-
CARMELITA COME TO ME, CARMELITA COME TO ME RIGHT NOW...
