Weekend of a Private Secretary

Weekend of a Private Secretary - Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

I went to Havana on one

Of those cruises

For forty nine fifty

To spend a few days

I went to Havana to look

At the natives

To study their customs

Their picturesque ways

In searching for some local colour

I ran across a Cuban Gent

And he was such a big sensation

I forgot the population

He showed me the city

And he talk me the customs

My trip to Havana

Was quite a success

We had a bacardi

I forgot the clock

So we were tardy

In returning to the dock

So I delayed it

Even dropping my shawl

The Cuban made it

Jut made the final call

Darn it all

I'm back in my office

And I'm punching the time clock

But you can bet my mind

Is not on my work

Instead of bacardi

I'm ordering bromo

Instead of the Cuban

I'm stuck with the clerk

The other girls may go to Europe

And marry into royalty

And they can get an earl

Or a marquis

Or a Russian or a darky

But when I get married

And settle in Brooklyn

He may be a slicker

He may be a hick

Or a Rubens

But you can bet that he'll be Cuban
