If I Was A Latin King Songtext

von John Austin

If I was a Latin king
I would paint your hand with diamond rings
I would take a pair of seraph wings
I would get us out of here
I would find us both someplace to go
Where you could wear your finest clothes
All the people there would say hello
Instead of what are you doing here

Yesenia Yesenia
Would you dance with me
If I was a Latin king
If I was a Latin king
Yesenia would you follow me

To the Queen of Angels Carnival
I walk the lots with pockets full
While the violent and beautiful
Go running hand and hand
On down below the transit tracks
I lost you there in a wicked flash
When you said you must be going back
Instead of what are you doing here

Yesenia Yesenia
Would you dance with me
If I was a Latin king
If I was a Latin king
Yesenia would you run with me

And if you was Her Majesty
I would order all them boys to sing
To beat their razors into rings
To lay them at your feet
The ceremony would begin
We'd raise a glass to loyal friends
Kiss them all goodbye and then
I would get us out of here

Yesenia Yesenia
Would you dance with me
If I was a Latin king
If I was a Latin king
Yesenia would you follow me
