The song Filipino Dance Hall Girl is performed by Ry Cooder .
Oh when the evening shadows fall
I am dreaming
Of a certain smile
A secret rendezvous
And when the day is past and gone
Ill come creeping
To the dark end of the street
Again to you
When a dimly lit café has ? dancing
I try to smile and hide a love thats true
Then they play a lovely tune as were romancing
Then I cant pretend no matter what I do
Dark and different
So they tell me
Its forbidden
So they say
But I just tell them
Were so happy
Shes my Filipino Dancehall Girl
Good friends all have withdrawn their salutations
Good neighbors pause when I come down the street
Preacher has a look of scorn on Sunday morning
And theres a frown on every face I see
Que Sera Sera the Bible tells me
?
so they say
But I just tell them Adios Muchacho
Shes my Filipino Dancehall Girl
Then she whispers
While were dancing
In a language soft and low
I just tell her Darling I Love You
Youre my Filipino Dancehall Girl
(Aw Step On It!)
