In the evening when I sit alone a-dreaming

Of days gone by, love, to me so dear

There's a picture that in fancy, oft appearing

Brings back the time, love, when you were near

It is there I wonder where you are my darling

And if your heart to me is still the same

For the sighing wind and nightengale a singing

Are breathing only your own sweet name

Your own sweet name

Sweet Adeline

My Adeline

At night dear heart

For you I pine

In all my dreams

Your own fair face beams

You're the flower of my heart

Sweet Adeline

Sweet Adeline

They call me Cuban Pete

I'm the king of the rhumba beat

When I play the maracas

I go chick-chicky-boom

Chick-Chicky-Boom

Yes, sir, I'm Cuban Pete

I'm the craze of my natives street

When I start to dance

everything goes chick-chicky-boom

chick-chicky-boom

There Senoritas they sing

and how they swing with this sombrero

It's so very nice so full of spice

and when they dance and they bring a happy ring of vaqueros

Singing a song all day long

So if you like the beat take a lesson from Cuban Pete

and I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom Chick-chicky-boom chick-chicky-boom

Si, Senorita, I know that you will like the chicky boom chick

'cause it's the dance of latin romance and Cuban Pete doesn't teach you

In a hurry like Arthur Murray

I come from Havana and there's always manana

So Senorita....

Oh no.....

They call me Sally Sweet

I'm the Queen of Delancy Street

When I start to dance

everything goes chick-chicky-boom chick-chicky-boom

Excuse me Mr. Pete

yes ma'am

Have the Cubans a different beat?

If they have the will you teach me to chick chick-chicky-boom chick-chicky-boom

Si, Senorita, I know you will like the chicky-boom-chick

Yea, Man

It's so very nice so full of spice

I place my hand on your hip and if you will just give me your hand than we shall try just you and I

Whenever Old Man Trouble makes trouble arise

Just put a big straw hat over your eyes

You'll never see the circumstance makin' you frown

If you just push your eyes under the crown

Life can be a simple thin'

a simple thin'

To laugh and sing

Get yourself a hat of straw

And put it on

Don't take it off

And when the landlord tells you the rent's in arrears

A big straw hat over your ears

You'll never hear the dialog tragically grim

If you just push your ears under the brim
