Spanish Harlem
(Jerry Leiber, Philip Spector)
Tid-Bettes: During a break between filming the concert scenes for The Rose while cameras were reloading, Bette broke into a few impromptu songs for the audience members.
There’s a rose in Spanish Harlem
A rose rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is the special one
It never sees the sun
It only comes up
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A rose in black at Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal
Look down in my soul
It start a fire there and then I looses control
I’m gonna beg your pardon, yeah
I’m going to
I’m going to pick that rose
And watch it as it grows
In my garden
In my garden
My garden, my garden
My garden, my garden
My garden, my garden
In Spanish Harlem
In Spanish Harlem
