No. 11 - Quartet - Dora, Nancy, Gus and Archie
Nancy: | Away to España, today or Manaña, That's Spanish, you know, for "tomorrow" — |
Dora: | We'll sit in the fore rows Of Plaza de toros, And gaze on the bull-fight with sorrow. |
Archie: | Then hey! for Lerida, And olla podrida, Madrid, and Seville, and Santona! |
Gus: | The merry mantilla, the gallant guerilla, And beauties of bright Barcelona. |
All: | Pour the Amontillado Sherry, Dance on the festive Prado, merry, Woman and man go in for fandango. Smoking a Colorado, very. Come where the gay Gitaña, joking! Lighting a real Cabaña, smoking, Joins the torero in a bolero, viva, Viva España. |
Nancy: | Across the frontera, the gay criadera Will bring us Tortillas and Xeres. |
Dora: | Oh, best on the whole is a dish of frijoles, A food that is fit for the fairies! |
Archie: | And if down at Cadiz A hundred in shade is The heat by Negretti and Zambra, |
Gus: | We'll fly to Grenada and drink limonada While strolling about the Alhambra! |
All: | Pour the Amontillado Sherry, Dance on the festive Prado, merry, Woman and man go in for fandango. Smoking a Colorado, very. Come where the gay Gitaña, joking! Lighting a real Cabaña, smoking, Joins the torero in a bolero, viva, Viva España. |
