No. 10 - Duet - Carmenita and Tamarind
Carmenita: | We've left Barcelona society |
Tamarind: | And we can't sing for nuts, la-la-la-ity! |
Carmenita: | But we bring you the latest variety |
Both: | Of gay castanet and guitar — Hola! |
Tamarind: | Our voices are quite Guadalquivery, |
Carmenita: | And the tune's a bit recitative-ry, |
Tamarind: | But we're dressed in our best Spanish livery, |
Both: | With gay castanet and guitar — Hola! Vive Cadiz though we don't know where it is! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Vive Navarre! which is just about as far! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, Hola! |
Carmenita: | Our programme is free from vulgarity, |
Tamarind: | "Habla Español!" Too-ral-la-la-ity! |
Carmenita: | We will pass round the hat for your charity, |
Both: | And tinkle our giddy guitar — Hola! |
Tamarind: | And tho' you may doubt our veracity, |
Carmenita: | Or question our vocal capacity, |
Tamarind: | Just look at our grace and vivacity, |
Both: | And hark to the giddy guitar — Hola! Vive Cadiz though we don't know where it is! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Vive Navarre! which is just about as far! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, Hola! |
