Lyrics for Perdido

Perdido, I look for my heart It's perdido I lost it way down in Torito The day the fiesta started Bolero, I sway that they play the Bolero I kissed me the listing sombrero And that's when my heart departed High, was the sun when I held him close Low, was the moon when we said, "Adios" Perdido My heart ever since is Perdido I know I must go to Torito To find what I lost Perdido (Scat) High, was the sun when I held him close Low, was the moon when we said, "Adios" Perdido Goodnight perdido I lost perdido
