Now Im a toreador
I am for sure
I kill bulls by the score
And sometimes more
And when they hear the bell ring
Inside the bullring
The bullocks all start trembling
They know Im coming
Im don alfonso
Some call me pedro
But that is not so
Im don alfonso
I fought bullocks out in sunny spain
Out in sunny spain
I fought bulls in the sunshine
And I fought them in the rain
Im don alfonso
I work for oxo
And all the bullocks are affraid of me
Oh my sword I pull
Kill si bull
Yes sir yes sir three bags full
Then we have steak and chips for tea
I met a sweet señora
In barcelona
Her christian name was mona
She was thumbs up bona
She told me she was single
That made me tingle
My heart went jingle jingle
I said: lets mingle
Im don alfonso
Some call me pedro
But that is not so
Im don alfonso
I fought bullocks out in sunny spain
Out in sunny spain
I fought bulls in the sunshine
And I fought bulls in the rain
Im don alfonso
I work for oxo
And all the bullocks are affraid of me
Oh my sword I pull
Kill si bull
Yes sir yes sir three bags full
Then we have fully beff for tea
(repeat two times)

Zur zeit din ich torrero am mittelmeere
Ich fange schwarze bullen mit butterstullen
Die dicken ochsen zittern wenn sie mich wittern
Dabei bin ich so friedlich und sie so niedlich
Bin don alfonso
Genannt auch pedro
Doch das ist nicht so
Ich heiß alfonso
Ich kämpf gegen ochsen nackt allein
In spaniens sonnenschein
Doch wenn es regnet
Will mich keiner sehn das ist nicht schön
Ich heiß alfonso und kämpfe stets froh
Und alle ochsen haben angst vor mir
Ich rufe mit dem tuch zum kampf
Und mache allen stieren dampf
Dann fallen blumen in den sand
Ich traf eine señora in barçelona
Mein herz sank in die beine
Denn sie war alleine
Mein puls war ziemlich lose
Zu eng die hose
Sie tat es mir erlauben
Ihr herz zu rauben
Bin don alfonso
Genannt auch pedro
Doch das ist nicht so
Ich heiß alfonso
Ich kämpf gegen ochsen fast allein
In spaniens sonnenschein
Doch wenn es regnet
Will mich keiner sehn das ist nicht schön
Ich heiß alfonso und kämpfe stets froh
Und alle ochsen haben angst vor mir
Ich rufe mit dem tuch zum kampf
Und mache allen stieren dampf
Dann fallen damen in den sand
Bin don alfonso
Genannt auch pedro
Doch das ist nicht so
Ich heiß alfonso
Ich kämpf gegen ochsen nackt allein
In spaniens sonnenschein
Doch wenn es regnet
Will mich keiner sehn das ist nicht schön
Ich heiß alfonso und kämpfe stets froh
Und alle ochsen haben angst vor mir
Ich rufe mit dem tuch zum kampf
Und mache allen stieren dampf
Nie soll ein stierkopf in den sand
