SHE'S THE DAUGHTER OF A PLANTER FROM HAVANA
Saul Chaplin (m) Gus Kahn (l)

as rec by Louis Armstrong & his Orch  
July 7th 1937 New York


She's the one that you read about,
So many things have been said about
The charming senorita from Havana.
She has won much publicity,
But all the women, it's plain to see
Are envious, that is the reason why they ban her!

Now front page news wouldn't be news without her,
But with it all, here's all we know about her;

She's the daughter of a planter from Havana,
And a young American is teachin' her to swing.
Now the daughter of the planter from Havana,
In her own Havana manner,
Is shakin' that thing!

Every night on the great white way, she goes quite insane!
While her father is raisin' tobacca, she is raisin' Cain!
She's the daughter of a planter from Havana,
And a young American is teachin' her to swing.
