kate baldwin - the boston beguine lyrics

tropical nights
orchids in bloom
sultry perfume
intrigues and dangers
with passionate strangers
i’ve seen it all as i recall

i met him in boston
in the native quarter
he was from harvard
just across the border
it was a magical night
with romance everywhere
there was something in the air
there always is in boston

we went to the casbah
that’s an irish bar there
the underground hideout
of the d.a.r. there
something inside of me said
watch your heart, mademoiselle
and it might be just as well
to watch your purse in boston

we danced in a trance
and i dreamed of romance
’til the strings of my heart
seemed to be knotted
and even the palms
seemed to be potted
the boston beguine was casting its spell
and i was drunk with love and cheap muscatel
we went to the common
that’s a pretty park there
as i remember
it was pretty dark there
in this exotic locale
by a silver lagoon
underneath a voodoo moon
we fell asleep in boston

that was the story
of my first romance there
our dreams of adventure
didn’t stand a chance there
how could we hope to enjoy
all the pleasures ahead
when the books we should have read
were all suppressed in boston

exotic boston
land of the free
home of the braves
home of the red sox
home of the bean
and home of the boston beguine
