Latin from Manhattan/I Got Rhythm Lyrics

I'm a Latin from Manhattan
You can tell by my Mañana
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
And not Havana
Though I does the rhumba for yas
And I call myself Dolores
I was in a Broadway chorus
Known as Señorita Patti Lu
I can take a tambourine and whack it
But with me that's just a racket
I'm a hoofer from Tenth Avenue
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
I'm a Forty-Second Streeter
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
Señorita Patti Lu
Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him
Knocking on my front door
I got rhythm, I got music
I got sweet dreams
Who could ask for anything more?
I can take her tambourine and whack it
But with me that's just a racket
I'm a hoofer from Tenth Avenue
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
I'm a Forty-Second Streeter
I'm a Latin from Manhattan
Señorita Patti Lu
Evita!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
