Oh when the evening shadows fall
I am dreaming
Of a certain smile
A secret rendezvous
And when the day is past and gone
I'll come creeping
Down the dark end of the street
Again to you
In a dimly lit caf as we go dancing
I try to smile and hide a love that's true
Then they play a lovely tune as we're romancing
Then i can't pretend no matter what i do
Dark and different
So they tell me
It's forbidden
So they say
But i just tell them
We're so happy
She's my filipino dancehall girl
Good friends have all withdrawn their salutations
Good neighbors pause when i come down the street
Preacher has a look of scorn on sunday morning
And there's a frown on every face i see
Que sera sera the bible tells me
Novus ordo seclorum so they say
But i just tell them "adios muchacho"
She's my filipino dancehall girl
Then she whispers
While we're dancing
In a language soft and low
I just tell her "darling i love you"
You're my filipino dancehall girl
(aw step on it!)
