[Verse 1]

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

Olé!


[Verse 2]

All you see are silhouettes

And all you hear are castanets

And no one cares how late it gets

Not at Hernando's Hideaway

Olé!


[Bridge]

At the Golden Finger Bowl or anyplace you go

You will meet your Uncle Max and everyone you know

But if you go to the spot that I am thinkin' of

You will be free to gaze at me and talk of love


[Verse 3]

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


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

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
