Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem Cannot hold you to its heat Your temperature's too hot for tamin' Your flaming feet are burnin' up the street I am homeless, come and take me Into the reach of your rattlin' drums I gotta know, babe, all about my fortune Down along my restless palms Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed I have fallen far beneath Your pearly eyes so fast and slashing And your flashin' diamond teeth The night is pitch black, come and make my Pale face fit into place, ah, please I gotta know, babe, I'm nearly drownin' If it's you my lifelines trace I've been wonderin' all about me Ever since I seen you there On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding I know I'm 'round you, but I don't know where You have slayed me, you have made me I got to laugh halfways off my heels I gotta know, babe, will you surround me? So I can know if I'm really real
