BELLE FROM BARCELONA
(DePaulo / Brown)

as recorded by Dean Martin
1954


(Eyes exciting, very amoroso!
Lips inviting, real delicioso!)

We sailed into port at Barcelona
And I could see her standin' there.
As I strolled by her verandah,
She tossed me a rose from her hair.

The steamer was anchored for an hour
And she seemed like a dream come true.
I stopped and picked up the flower,
Not knowin' it meant I love you!

Oh, ole! (ole!)
That belle from Barcelona way, (ole!)
If you could see her, oh, ole! (ole!)
You know I only need to say ole!

Hey muchacha! (chacha!)
She showed a lot o' muchacha! (chacha!)
She kissed me and a-ooh-chacha!, (chacha!)
I knew that I was there to stay! (ole!)

Oh chiquita, you are muchilina!
Oh chiquita, you are so bonita!
Eyes exciting, very amoroso!
Lips inviting, very delicioso!

Oh, ole! (ole!)
That belle from Barcelona way, (ole!)
If you could see her, oh, ole! (ole!)
You know I only need to say ole! (ole! ole!)

Ah muchacha! (chacha!)
She showed a lot o' muchacha! (chacha!)
She kissed me and a-ooh-chacha!, (chacha!)
I knew that I was there to stay, ole! (ole! ole!)

Oh chiquita, you are muchilina!
Oh chiquita, you are so bonita!
Eyes exciting, very amoroso!
Lips inviting, real delicioso!
(ole!)
