Frenesi

Some time ago I wandered down into old Mexico While I was there I felt romance everywhere Moon was shining bright And I could hear laughing voices in the night Everyone was gay This was the start of their holiday It was fiesta down in Mexico And so I stopped a while to see the show I knew that frenesi meant "Please love me" And I could say frenesi A lovely senorita caught my eye I stood enchanted as she wandered by And never knowing that it come from me I gently sighed frenesi She stopped and raised her eyes to mine Her lips just pleaded to be kissed Her eyes were soft as candle-shine So how was I to resist? And now without a heart to call my own A greater happiness I've never known Because her kisses are for me alone Who wouldn't say frenesi? --- Frenesi - Anita O'Day and The Russell Garcia Orchestra
