Flamingo - Earl Bostic, Jimmy Cobb, Gene Redd

Flamingo, like a flame in the sky

Flying over the island

To my lover nearby

Flamingo, with your tropical hue

For it’s you I rely on

And the love that is true

The wind sings a song to you as you go

The song that I hear below

The murmuring heart

Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea

Say farewell to my lover

And hasten to me

Aah-ooh, aah-ooh, ooh-ooh

Flamingo…

Flamingo…

(Instrumental Break)

Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea

Say farewell to my lover

And hasten to me

Aah-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-aah
