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))
Manfred Mann was a British beat, rhythm and blues and pop band (with a strong jazz foundation) of the 1960s, named after their South African keyboardist, Manfred Mann, who later led the successful 1970s group Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Manfred Mann were chart regulars in the 1960s, and the first south-of-England-based group to top the US Billboard Hot 100 during the 'British invasion' of the US music scene.
