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 Down the dark end of the street Again to you In a dimly lit café as we go 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 doDark 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me It's forbidden So they say But I just tell them We're so happy She's my Filipino Dancehall GirlGood friends have all withdrawn their salutations Good neighbors pause when I come down the street Preacher has a look of scorn on Sunday morning And there's a frown on every face I seeQue Sera Sera the Bible tells me Novus ordo seclorum so they say But I just tell them "Adios Muchacho" She's my Filipino Dancehall GirlThen 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!)
