And they call me the Oriental
The brown with the killer glance
And they call me the Oriental
Because I’m sentimental
But still I do no harm
They’ve named me the Oriental
They criticize my life
But they like my company
My heart is always attached
My heart plays hide-and-seek
Even when I haven’t a dollar
I sing and I forget my gloom
They’ve named me the Oriental
Because I’m sentimental

And they call me the Oriental
The brown with the killer glance
And they call me the Oriental
Because I’m sentimental
But still I do no harm
They’ve named me the Oriental
Sad songs or happy songs
I sing what I like
It’s music that drives me mad
Oriental or Spanish music...
A song is like love
It makes you dream night and day
They’ve named me the Oriental
I’m so sentimental
And they call me the Oriental
The brown with the killer glance
And they call me the Oriental
Because I’m sentimental
But still I do no harm
They’ve named me the Oriental...
