TOMMY THE TOREADOR
From the film "Tommy The Toreador" (1959)
(Lionel Bart / Michael Pratt / Tommy Steele)

Tommy Steele - 1957



Took a freighter to Spain
Met up with a bull fighter
He soon taught me the score
Now my claim to fame is the crazy name
Tommy, the Toreador

No bullfighter in Spain
Sees a bull and turns whiter
Please don't leave me ashore
Kids that follow me, keep on calling me
Tommy, the Toreador

I've got a sword, I've got a cloak,
But when that bull is coming at you, it's no joke!

I would notify Spain
Find another bullfighter
But the ladies adore
Throwing roses to, growing closer to
Tommy, the Toreador

I would notify Spain
Find another bullfighter
But the ladies adore
Throwing roses to, growing closer to
Tommy, the Toreador

I'm not scootin' while Cupid's rootin' for
Tommy, the Toreador
