Lyrics:

George-Van Dyke Parks-Kibbee

Rose-oh-ose-ah-rita
I laid on your beach
Dreaming and drinking Tequila
I came all the way from Marina Del Rey
On a plane yesterday
Through the gray L A air
(Chorus)
Cheek to cheek to cheek ... Chiquita ita
Yo soy amoroso
What could be wrong with the hombre who sings solo?
Barama ree (spanish anyone?)
Giddily for ya (?)
(whistling)
Rosa-
Rita
Forget that border check please
You won't have to sneak
Two or three times a week
And your green card, la ma tarjeta verde, may never be strong
Because you've got my heart on permanent loan
Cheek to cheek to cheek ... Chiquita ita do do dah
Yo soy amoroso
What could be wrong with the hombre who sings solo?
Barama ree (?)
Carady for yee (?)
Ayayayaya
