Lyrics
Be careful of the Senorita
Who knows the value of a fan
That’s how a beautiful Chiquita
Becomes acquainted with a man
I’ve seen them flirting with a stranger
And when the game of love began
He didn’t realize the danger
Behind her fan
Chorus
Eyes of brown are peeping at you
From behind the fan
No one knows just what they can do
To the heart of a man
There behind a shelter of lace
Lies a hidden plan
You may find a heavenly face
With the heart of a devil behind the fan
Performance
