List to me while I tell you
Of the Spaniard who blighted my life, tra-la-la
List to me while I tell you
Of the man who stole my future wife, tra-la-la
It was at the bullfight that I met him, met him
We were watching his daring display, display
And while I went out for some nuts and a programme
The dirty dog stole her away
Yes, no, yes, no
And I've sworn I shall have my revenge
For when I catch Alphonso Spegoni, the toreador, tra-la-la
With one mighty swipe I shall dislocate his ruddy jaw, tra-la-la
I'll fight the bullfighter, I will
When I catch the blighter I've sworn I shall kill
He shall die, he shall die, he shall die
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die,
He shall die, he shall die
I'll raise a bunion on his Spanish onion
If I catch him bending tonight, Olé!
Yes if I catch Spegoni
He will wish that he'd never been born
And for this special reason
My stiletto I've fetched out of pawn
It cost me five shillings to get it, get it
The expense, it has caused me much pain, much pain
But the pawnbroker's promised, when I catch Spegoni
To take it in pawn once again
Yes, no, yes, no
And tonight there will be dirty work
For when I catch Alphonso Spegoni, the toreador, tra-la-la
With one mighty swipe I shall dislocate his ruddy jaw, tra-la-la
I'll fight the bullfighter, I will
When I catch the blighter I've sworn I shall kill
He shall die, he shall die, he shall die
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die,
He shall die, he shall die
I'll raise a bunion on his Spanish onion
If I catch him bending tonight, Olé!
