[Intro]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem
A rose in black at Spanish Harlem

[Verse 1]
It is a special one, it never sees the sun
It only comes up when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
But soft, sweet and dreamy

[Chorus]
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A rose in black at Spanish Harlem

[Verse 2]
With eyes as black as coal that look down in his soul
And start a fire there and then he loses control
I'm gonna beg his pardon, yeah
He's going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In his garden
[Chorus]
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A rose in black at Spanish Harlem

[Verse 3]
With eyes as black as coal that look down in his soul
It start a fire there, then he loses control
And I'm gonna beg his pardon
He's going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In his garden

[Outro]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
