Hernando's Hideaway
(Adler-Ross)

I know a dark secluded place
A place where no one knows your face
A glass of wine a fast embrace
It's called...Hernando's Hideaway...OLÉ
All you see are silhouettes
And all you hear are castanets
And no one cares how late it gets
Not at Hernando's Hideaway...OLÉ

At the Golden Fingerbowl or any place you go
You can meet your Uncle Max and everyone you know
But if you go to the spot that I am thinking of
You will be free...to gaze at me
And talk of love

Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe
Then strike a match and you will know
That you're in Hernando's Hideaway...OLÉ


ooohh yeah!
move over here a little closer...
mmmmm....
HEY!

Oh just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe
Then strike a match and you will know
That you're in Hernando's Hideaway.

*[Italics added by me to highlight that verse]

"[Hernando's Hideaway] was used on the soundtrack to the film Snatch...It was also No1 in the UK on the 11th of November 1955 (for 2 weeks).}
