Al Jolson
Words by Al Dubin and Music by Harry Warren

Competing versions charted by Johnny Green (# 4) and Ozzie Nelson (# 15)
Sung by Jolson in the film "Go Into Your Dance" which also starred Ruby Keeler, Glenda Farrell,
and Helen Morgan
Fate sent her to me over the sea from Spain
And she is one in a million for me
I found my romance when she went dancing by
And she must be a Castillian, s? s?br> Is she from Havana or Madrid?
But something about her is making me doubt 'er
I think I remember the kid, yeah!
She's a Latin from Manhattan
I can tell by her 'Man-ya-na"
She's a Latin from Manhattan
But not Havana
Though she does the rhumba for us
And she calls herself Dolores
She was in a Broadway chorus
Known as Suzy Donahue
She can take her tambourine and whack it
But to her it's just a racket
She's a hoofer from Tenth Avenue
She's a Latin from Manhattan
She's a Forty-Second Streeter
She's a Latin from Manhattan

Velveeta!!
