Flamingo  Original Key - F  Lower Key - D
Duke Ellington

Flamingo, like a flame in the sky
Flying over the island to my lover near by.
Flamingo, in your tropihue,
Speak of passion undying and a love that is true.

The wind sings a song to you as you go,
A song that I hear below the murmuring palms.

Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea,
Say farewell to my lover, and hasten to me.
