hernando's hideaway

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. ole!

all you see are silhouettes

and all you hear are castanets

and no one cares how late it gets

not at hernando's hideaway. ole!

at the golden finger bowl or anyplace you go

you'll meet your uncle max and everyone you know

but if you are sitting close and making love to me

you may take my heart

you may take my soul

but not my key

just knock three times and whisper low

that you and i were sent by joe

then strike a match and you will know

you're in hernando's hideaway. ole!
