Lyrics

MAGDALENA

MAGDALENA ON THE BOARDWALK-TINY FLOWER IN HER HAIR
MAKING SUCH A PRETTY PICTURE GAZING OUT UPON THE OCEAN
LOCAL BOYS THEY WANT HER MADLY-
YOUNG MACHISMO FILLS THE AIR
EVERY KIND OF INVITATION
BUT SHE NEVER EVER GO

(CHORUS)

MAGDALENA DON?T WANT THE ISLAND MAN
SHE WANT A SAILOR ON WHO CAN TAKE HER WAY FROM HERE
MAGADALENA DOIN THE BEST SHE CAN
SHE WANT A LIFE OF HER OWN

MAGDALENA WAITING TABLES SERVICE AT AN ALL TIME LOW
ALL THE CUSTOMERS ARE STARVING
CUZ OF HER PRE-OCCUPATION
HER ATTENTION?S ON THE BAR ROOM
WAITING FOR HER LATEST BEAU
A HEALTHY BOY FROM CALIFORNIA COMING IN FROM THE BASE

(CHORUS)

SHE HAS SEEN HER SEVEN SISTERS MARRY AN DEFER
NO SHE HAS THEIR SEVEN HUSBANDS COMING ON TO HER

EVERY NIGHT A NEW BORRACHO TRIES A TIRED LINE
EVERY DAY SHE SEES A PLASE OF DIFFERENT DESIGN

(CHORUS)

?MAGDALENA ? THE LITTLE BOYS SAY
?HACER MUCHO MUCHO CALOR?
?MAGDALENA ? THE LITTLE BOYS SAY
?TENGO MUCHO MUCHO AMORE?
