G# C# G#
Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
G# C# G#
Cannot hold you to its heat
G# C# G#
Your temperature’s too hot for taming
G# C# G#
Your flaming feet are burning up the street
C#/D# G#/D# C#/D# G#
I am homeless, come and take me
C#/D# G#/D# C#/D# D# [= LINK]
Into reach of your rattling drums
G# C#/G# D* G#
Let me know, babe, about my fortune
G# C# D* C* [ G# ] [= END of VERSE]
Down along my restless palms

G# C# G#
Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
G# C# G#
I have fallen far beneath
G# C# G#
Your pearly eyes, so fast an’ slashing
G# D* C* G#
An’ your flashing diamond teeth
C#/D# G#/D# C#/D# G#
The night is pitch black, come an’ make my
C#/D# G#/D# C#/D# D# [= LINK]
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
G# C#/G# D* G#
Let me know, babe, I’m nearly drowning

G# C# G#
I been wond’rin’ all about me
G# C# G#
Ever since I seen you there
G# C# G#
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I’m riding
G# D* C* G#
I know I’m ’round you but I don’t know where
C#/D# G#/D# C#/D# G#
You have slayed me, you have made me
C#/D# G#/D# C#/D# D# [= LINK]
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
G# C#/G# D* G#
I got to know, babe, will you surround me?
G# C# D* C* [ G# ] [= END of VERSE]
So I can know if I’m really real
