On our block all of the guys call her flamingo  
C               D              G                  C          D            G   
Cause her hair glows like the sun and her eyes can light the sky

When she moves she walks so fine like a flamingo 
C            D              G                             C        D              G   
Crimson dress that clings so tight she's out of reach and out of sight 



                           C         D                         G 
When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood  
               C               D                      G                     D  
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could if she just would 



                     G   C                  G      C            G  C 
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo 
C      D                     G                     C      D                       G   
Then every guy will envy me cause paradise is where I'll be
