Teksty: Ry Cooder. I, Flathead. Filipino Dance Hall Girl.

Oh when the evening shadows fall
I am dreaming
Of a certain smile
A secret rendezvous
And when the day is past and gone
I?ll come creeping
To the dark end of the street
Again to you
When a dimly lit cafe has ? dancing
I try to smile and hide a love that?s true
Then they play a lovely tune as we?re romancing
Then I can?t pretend no matter what I do
Dark and different
So they tell me
It?s forbidden
So they say
But I just tell them
We?re so happy

She?s my Filipino Dancehall Girl
Good friends all have withdrawn their salutations
Good neighbors pause when I come down the street
Preacher has a look of scorn on Sunday morning
And there?s a frown on every face I see
Que Sera Sera the Bible tells me
? ? so they say
But I just tell them ?Adios Muchacho?
She?s my Filipino Dancehall Girl
Then she whispers
While we?re dancing
In a language soft and low
I just tell her ?Darling I Love You?
You?re my Filipino Dancehall Girl
(Aw Step On It!)
