Tangerine
Bob Eberly Lyrics

Tangerine,
The subject of the song, a woman named Tangerine

She is all they claim
Tangerine is even better than her reputation suggests

With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine has beautiful eyes and bright, attention-grabbing lips

Tangerine,
Reiteration of the subject's name, emphasizing her importance

When she dances by
Tangerine's movements attract attention

Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
Both men and women are drawn to Tangerine's beauty

And I've seen
The singer has observed Tangerine's effect on people

Toasts to Tangerine
People at bars in Argentina raise their glasses to Tangerine

Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Tangerine is famous throughout Argentina

Yes, she has them all on the run
Tangerine has a lot of admirers chasing after her

But her heart belongs to just one
Tangerine is in love with someone specific

Her heart belongs to Tangerine
The artist maintains that Tangerine is in love with herself

Tangerine,
The subject's name again

She is all they say
Tangerine lives up to her hype

With mascara'd eye and chapeaux by Dache.
Tangerine has striking makeup and wears hats by Dache

Tangerine,
The artist continues to highlight the subject's name

With her lips of flame
Tangerine's lips are particularly eye-catching

If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame.
The bright shade of Tangerine's lipstick could be attributed to a particular brand

And I've seen
The singer has seen more of Tangerine's belongings

Clothes on Tangerine
Tangerine's attire

Where the label says "From Macy's Mezzanine".
Some of Tangerine's clothes come from Macy's Mezzanine

Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl
Tangerine attracts a lot of male attention

But she's only fooling one girl
Despite her admirers, Tangerine is in love with only one person

She's only fooling Tangerine!
The artist argues that Tangerine is only in love with herself, not anyone else
