However, I doesn't seem that this is all the lyrics. I have heard it sung in two parts, the first verse sung by a man, and the second verse sung by a woman. Part of the woman's verse goes: : "Yes, she's got all the guys in a whirl, : But she's only fooling one girl, : She's only fooling Tangerine" : Any knowledge of the rest of the lyrics ? : Steven J. Hanna : MANMACHINE@aol.com
How about the second verse as sung by Helen O'Connell, where she sings about "eye shadow by Dache" and "If the color keeps Louis Phillipe's to blame" and "And I've seen clothes on Tangerine, where the label says 'Macy's' mezzanine'" and "She's got them all in a whirl, but she's only fooling one girl, she's only fooling Tangerine." I'm new at posting, so if I haven't posted this properly, I apologize. (But, that's another song, popularized by Billy Eckstine.) Posted by Steven J.
