IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Latins Know How

[Verse:]

In a magazine I read

Where a certain author said

That Latins are lousy lovers

And it's a lie

A libelous lie

And who, tell me, who should know better than I?



[Refrain:]

Latins, they don't play baseball

They're not so good with a rake or a plow

They're not experts at making money

But when it comes to making love

A Latin knows how



Latins, they don't like farming

You seldom see Latins milking a cow

In the daytime, they're always sleeping

But in the night without much light

A Latin knows how



Englishmen and Yankees

They've got quite a lot

But that extra something

They just haven't got



Latins, they're so romantic

They've got more oomph than the law will allow

If you're married to a Latin

Life is just smooth as satin

For a Latin knows how
