LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
(David Mann (m) Bob Hilliard (l) )

as recorded by Perry Como
with Hugo Winterhalter's Orchestra & Chorus
December 31st 1953 New York


I come to serenade you beneath your window pane,
The wind is blowin' like a hurricane!
Oh, look out the window
And see how I'm standin' in the rain!

My friends Jose and Pedro are waiting in the wagon,
They know that love is drivin' me insane!
Oh, look out the window
And see how I'm standing in de rain!

I love you, I love you, I'd lay down my life,
I really mean the words I sing in each refrain.
Oh, look out the window (look out de window)
And see how I'm standing in de rain!

I saw you at the bullfight, you thrilled de matadors,
And from your dainty shoe they drank champagne.
I know I'm no hero,
But look how I'm standing in de rain!

I'm so afraid that lightning may strike my steel guitar,
Why can't we fly away to sunny Spain?
Oh, look out de window
And see how I'm standing in de rain!

My heart seems to pump like a wild jungle drum,
My head is spinning like your father's weather vane.
Oh, look out de window (look out de window)
And see how I'm standing in de rain!

I love you, I love you,
That's why I serenade you in de rain!
