One night in Old Monterey
By the silvery Rio Grande
I fell in love as the Spanish violins
Played my lovely senorita's serenade

The violins were singing a love song
And my heart sang the song that they played
We held each other near till both our hearts could hear
My lovely senorita's serenade

Spanish violins, sing your love song again
Our hearts are light and gay
Every time you play
My lovely senorita's serenade

--- Instrumental ---

The violins seemed to say hold her closer
And make her lips your own
I held her in my arms and we shared each other's charms
And the Spanish violins played on

The violins were singing a love song
And my heart sang the song that they played
We held each other near till both our hearts could hear
My lovely senorita's serenade
Spanish violins, sing your love song again
Our hearts are light and gay
Every time you play
My lovely senorita's serenade

Spanish violins, sing your love song again
Our hearts are light and gay
Every time you play
My lovely senorita's serenade...
