[Verse 1]
Jimmy Stewart follows Kim to where your portrait hangs on a wall
You're such a haunting vision, he forgets his partner's fall
You jump into the San Francisco bay
I'll follow you in and I know you can't swim when you've been dead a hundred years
Carlotta!

[Chorus]
Carlotta Valdez, Carlotta Valdez
Carlotta Valdez, I will make you her

[Verse 2]
Everything's subjective, nothing lasts for Johnny O
K-kiss Kim Novak where the redwoods grow
Now bleach her hair and pretend that she didn't die
Go up the mission stairs, I'll follow anywhere, that is, until you climb too high 'cause I get
Oh, vertigo, vertigo, vertigo!

[Chorus]
Carlotta Valdez, Carlotta Valdez
Carlotta Valdez, I will make you her

[Bridge]
What a thing to be the center
Of attention all the time
He isn't really fallin' for this, is he?
He's getting dizzy and so am I!
[Chorus]
Carlotta Valdez, Carlotta Valdez
Carlotta Valdez, let her go, Jim!
Carlotta Valdez, Carlotta Valdez
Carlotta Valdez, I will make you her

[Outro]
(Yes!)
