On our block all of the guys call her flamingo 
 Cause her hair glows like the sun 
 And her eyes can light the sky 
 When she moves she walks so fine like a flamingo 
 Crimson dress that clings so tight 
 She's out of reach and out of sight 
 
 When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood 
 Oh, every guy would make her his if he just could 
 If she just would 
 
 Some sweet day I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo 
 Then every guy will envy me 
 Cause paradise is where I'll be 
 
 Pretty flamingo, pretty flamingo 
 
 When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood 
 Oh, every guy would make her his if he just could, 
 If she just would
 
 Some sweet day I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo 
 Then every guy will envy me 
 Cause paradise is where I'll be
 
 (Sha la la, la la la la, pretty flamingo)
 Some day I'll make her mine,
 (Sha la la, la la la la, pretty flamingo)
 Yes I will, yes I will, make her mine
 (Sha la la . . . (fades))
