Well, this is the latest sensation
Alongside the great, great legend
Guess who?
Ben E. King, Spragga Benzoin
Ben E. King, Spragga Benzoin
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Ben E. the King water it inna him garden
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Nurture it from now till a morning
It is the special one
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming (Oh yeah)
It's growing in the street
Right on through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamy
This special rose, never to over-expose
That's why Harlem, Harlem, where me a go
In Spanish Harlem where my rose a grow
The cream a the crop, she a the star fi me show
Melt me likkle heart like the sun melt the snow
This must be the works of Cupid's arrow so
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Spragga Benz water it inna him garden
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Nurture it from now till a morning
With eyes as black as coal
Then looks down in my soul
It starts a fire there and then
I lose control, I'll have to beg your pardon (Excuse me, please)
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows (Where?)
In my garden (Over there)
La la la, la la la, la la la la
ย
Well, I found my special girl
Spragga go tell the world
That she smooth as velvet, soft as petals
Mmm, this girl is something special
Genuine beauty, not superficial
Haffi get possession, haffi make it official
Harlem, Harlem, where me a go
In Spanish Harlem where my rose a grow
The cream a the crop, she a the star fi me show
This must be the works of Cupid's arrow so
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Spragga Benz water it inna him garden
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Nurture it from now till a morning
It is the special one, never seen the sun
It comes out when the moon is on the run, stars are gleaming
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows (Where?)
In my garden
La la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la la

Check this, I say
I'm gonna take my rose out of Harlem
Give you a special place inna me garden
Out on a farm, secure from all harm
And surround it by likkle children
'Cause she give my life special meaning
Brighten my day like the sun in the morning
Head over heels, this rose got me falling
Ten miles away, you can hear me calling
Harlem, Harlem, here I come
Sweet Spanish rose, this is where you belong
In my garden, in my garden
In my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my garden
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows
In my garden
La la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la la
