Johnny Mercer - Tangerine lyrics

South American stories tell of a girl who's quite a dream The beauty of her race Though you doubt all the stories And think the tales are just a bit extreme Wait till you see her face Tangerine, she is all they claim With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame Tangerine, when she dances by Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh And I've seen toasts to Tangerine Raised in every bar across the Argentine Yes, she has them all on the run But her heart belongs to just one Her heart belongs to Tangerine Tangerine, she is all they say With mascara'd eyes and chapeaux by Dache Tangerine, with her lips of flame If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame And I've seen clothes on Tangerine Where the label says "From Macy's Mezzanine" Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl But she's only fooling one girl She's only fooling Tangerine And I've seen toasts to Tangerine Raised in every bar across the Argentine Yes, she has them all on the run But her heart belongs to just one Her heart belongs to Tangerine Yes, she has them all on the run But her heart belongs to just one Her heart belongs to Tangerine
