Greetings from Duesseldorf, Germany!

                                                 
Take me to the Matador he will know just what it's for
                                               
he will help me with my life he will open every door
                                                    
when the bull is in the ring you need all the help you can
                                          
and the Mariachis sing with the lonely mandoline
                                                                        
See those people shout out loud give me more and give me more
                                             
and I'm a-thinking to myself take me to the Matador

                                               
Take me to the Matador he will fill and ease my soul
                                                    
he will give me confidence when I think I've lost control
                                                 
he will help me with my muse in the age of win and lose
                                                   
with the ancient cup and sword and a hundred Spanish lords
                                               
see one thousand violins golden trumpets soar on high
                                                      
Waves and waves of joyful hymns silver sonnets reach the sky
                                                      
fight the battles and the blues wars of love and wars of art
                                                      
tonight the cape is what I choose Goya's in my Spanish heart

                                          
Dadabdabdabdabdabdabda  dadabdabdabdabdabdabda
                                         
Dadabdabdabdabdabdabda  dadabdabdabdabdabdabda

                                                      
He will help me with my love dance the dance that lovers do
                                               
rumba with the velvet glove 'neath the Barcelona moon
                                               
See one thousand violins golden trumpets soar on high
                                                                     
waves and waves of joyful hymns silver sonnets reach the sky
                                       
Take me to the Matador take me to the Matador

                                          
Dadabdabdabdabdabdabda  dadabdabdabdabdabdabda
