There is a rose in Spanish Harlem,
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem,
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun, (Ahhhh)
It only comes out when the moon is on the run, (Ahhh)
And all the stars are gleaming, (Ahhh)
It's growing in the street, (La La La )
right up through the concrete, (La La La)
It's soft and sweet and dreamin', (La La La La)(La La La La)
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem [x4] (La La La La) (La La La La) [x4]
Yeah!
