Description

"Hernando's Hideaway" is a tango show tune, largely in long metre, from the musicalThe Pajama Game, written by Jerry Ross and Richard Adler and published in 1954. It was sung in the stage and film versions of the musical by Carol Haney. The song is about a fictional invitation-only nightclub of the same name where lovers can meet for secret rendezvous. In the few years after the song's release, a number of artists had hit recordings of it, including Archie Bleyer, Johnnie Ray, The Johnston Brothers, and Ella Fitzgerald.

📌This song was one of my mother’s favorite songs. I always remember her playing it on her piano. It’s a fun song to play, no doubt!
Besides my piano (key of F minor) I also added keyboard strings, guitar rhythms and lots drums and percussion, at 108bpm.
Thanks for watching, see you tonight at Hernando’s Hideaway! 😆👍🎶🎹

Lyrics:
I know a dark secluded place
A place where no one knows your face
A glass of wine, a fast embrace
It's called Hernando's Hideaway, ole

All you'll see are silhouettes
And all you'll hear are castanets
And no one cares how late it gets
Not at Hernando's Hideaway, ole

At the Golden Fingerbowl
or any place you go
You will meet your Uncle Max
and everyone you know
But if you go to the spot
that I am thinkin' of
You will be free to gaze at me
and talk of love

Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe
Then strike a match and you will know
You're in Hernando's Hideaway, ole

Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe
Then strike a match and you will know
You're in Hernando's Hideaway
