I'm a Latin from Manhattan
You can tell by my Mañana
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
And not Havana
Though I does the rhumba for yas
And I call myself Dolores
I was in a Broadway chorus
Known as Señorita Patti Lu
I can take a tambourine and whack it
But with me that's just a racket
I'm a hoofer from Tenth Avenue
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
I'm a Forty-Second Streeter
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
Señorita Patti Lu
Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him
Knocking on my front door
I got rhythm, I got music
I got sweet dreams
Who could ask for anything more?
I can take her tambourine and whack it
But with me that's just a racket
I'm a hoofer from Tenth Avenue
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
I'm a Forty-Second Streeter
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
Señorita Patti Lu
Evita!
