Thread Name: Lyr Req: Flamingo-- like a flame in the night!
Subject: ADD: Flamingo (Anderson-Grouya)
There must be a zillion recordings of this. I guess the best-known must be the one by Duke Ellington. I can't find it in my CD collection, but it is in the Hal Leonard jazz fakebook.

Flamingo
(lyrics by Ed Anderson; music by Ted Grouya, 1941)

Flamingo, like a flame in the sky,
Flying over the island to my lover nearby.
Flamingo, in your tropical hue,
Speak of passion undying and a love that is true.
[CHORUS]
