I       know  a  dark se - clu - ded place,

A place where no one knows your face;

A     glass  of  wine, a   fast embrace --

It's called Hernando's Hideaway (o - le!)

All you see  are  sil - hou - ettes,

And all you hear are castanets,

And  no one cares how late it gets,

Not at Hernando's Hideaway (o - le!)

At the golden finger bowl or anyplace you go,

You will meet your uncle Max and ev'ryone you know;

But if you go to that 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

You're in Hernando's Hideaway (o - le!)
