Hernando's Hideaway
Composer(s): Richard Adler; Jerry Ross

and various other artists



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!
