[ti:The Weekend Of A Private Secretary] [ar:Monica Mancini] [al:The Dreams of Johnny Mercer] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Weekend Of A Private Secretary - Monica Mancini [00:07.83]Composer:Bernie Hani [00:15.66]I went to Havana [00:18.87]On one of those cruises [00:22.48]For forty nine fifty [00:25.99]To spend a few days [00:28.99] [00:29.65]I went to Havana to look at the natives [00:35.57] [00:36.76]To study their customs [00:40.03]Their picturesque ways [00:44.46]In searching for some local colour [00:47.89]I ran across a Cuban Gent [00:50.77] [00:51.47]And he was such a big sensation [00:55.01]I forgot the population [00:58.41]He showed me the city he showed me the customs [01:04.33] [01:05.30]My trip to Havana was quite a success [01:11.53] [01:33.77]We had a bacardi [01:36.83]I forgot the clock [01:38.45] [01:40.71]So we were tardy [01:43.62]In returning to the dock [01:46.11] [01:47.50]So I delayed it [01:51.01]Even dropping my shawl [01:53.65] [01:54.98]The Cuban made it [01:57.84]As they made the final call [02:00.49]Darn it all [02:01.40] [02:02.17]I'm back in my office I'm punching the time clock [02:08.12] [02:09.78]But you can bet my mind is not on my work [02:15.52] [02:16.86]Instead of bacardi I'm ordering bromo [02:23.27] [02:23.87]Instead of the Cuban I'm stuck with the clerk [02:29.06] [02:31.52]The other girls can go to Europe [02:35.06]And marry into royalty [02:38.55]And they can get an earl or a marquis [02:41.94]Or a Russian or a darky [02:45.32]But when I get married and settle in Brooklyn [02:51.66] [02:52.45]He may be a slicker he may be a hick [02:55.91]Or a Rubens [02:58.28]But you can bet that he'll be Cuban
