He: 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
She: Tangerine, she is all they say
With mascara'd eye 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!
