MOONSTRUCK IN MADRID
Leon Pober

Joe Leahy and the RKO Orchestra and Chorus


Never get moonstruck in Madrid;
I ought to know, because I did.
I should have run away and hid,
But she was beautiful.

Love every moment she passed by;
There was a moonbeam in the sky
Looking around, and so was I;
And she was beautiful.

I was due to go to Rome, 
And then fly home;
But all my trips 
Were to her lips,
And not to Rome.

I had a ticket for the plane, But not remain;
But even though
It was years ago,
I'm still insane.

The senorita flipped my lid
When I was moonstruck in Madrid.
I was a fool for what I did,
But she was beautiful.
