The Lancashire Toreador - George Formby

I've been to Spain but never again

I couldn't go there twice

'Cause my name's John Willie

But they said it sounded silly

And they wouldn't call me that at any price

They soon made me change my name

And a real proper Spaniard I became:

Don't Pedro the big bull-fighting hero

The Lancashire Toreador

They cheer me and when the bull gets near me

To show how far a brave man can go

With the bull I danced the Tango

Then when I hung on his tail

My pants he tried to gore

I went dashing round the ring

With him giving chase

Three times he tossed me in the air

I looked a disgrace

They shouted

Look at all that skin and bone round the place

It's The Lancashire Toreador

Don't Pedro the big bull-fighting hero

The Lancashire Toreador

I met a charming senoreta

She said 'To love you I can never

Then kissed me good-bye for ever

That night as she retired

She locked her bedroom door

She started to undress and timidly she looked round

Said 'Thank God I am rid of him

For he's homeward bound

But when she pulled the bed clothes down

Now guess what she found

Why The Lancashire Toreador

Don't Pedro the big bull-fighting hero

The Lancashire Toreador

I scare them no mercy ever spare them

In the dead of night I ramble

Spanish castle walls I scramble

I saw a shadow above a girl in her boudoir

I climbed up her balcony it started to sway

She shouted 'Murder there's a bandit

Spare my life pray

But when my castanets I rattled she said 'Hooray

It's The Lancashire Toreador
