D-DU-UDU
 Gypsy  gal, the hands of  Harlem
 Cannot  hold you to it's  heat
 Your  temperature's too hot for  taming,
 Your flaming  feet burn up the  street.
 Into reach of  your rattling  drums.
   Let me  know, babe,  about my  fortune
 Down along my restless palms.
 Gypsy  gal, you got me  swallowed.
 I have  fallen far  beneath
 Your pearly  eyes, so fast an'  slashing,
 An' your  flashing diamond  teeth.
 The  night is pitch  black,  come an'  make my
 Pale face  fit into  place, ah,  please!
   Let me  know, babe,  I'm nearly  drowning,
 If it's you my lifelines trace.
 I been  wond'rin' all about  me
 Ever  since I seen you  there.
 On the  cliffs of your wildcat  charms I'm  riding,
 I know I'm 'round  you but I  don't know  where.
 You have  slayed me, you have  made me,
 I got to laugh halfways of my heels.
   I got to  know, babe,  will you surround  me
 So I can know if I'm really real.
 ENJOY!
