There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

It is the special one
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out when
The moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming

It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreaming

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

With eyes as black as coal
That look down in my soul
And starts a fire there
And then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon

I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden

I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden

(There is a rose in Spansh Harlem)
La la la la la..(There is a rose in Spansh Harlem)
La la la la la.....
