Fiesta Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am Francisco Vásquez García
And welcome to Almería
We have sin gas and con leche
We have fiesta and feria
We have the song of the chochona
We have brandy and half corona
And Leonardo and his accordione
Calamari and macaroni

[Chorus]
Come all you rambling boys of pleasure
And ladies of easy leisure
We must say adios until we see Almería once again

[Verse 2]
There is a minstrel, there you see
And he stoppeth one in three
He whispers in this one's ear
"Will you kindly kill that doll for me?"
Now he's won chochona in the bingo
All the town's watched this crazy gringo
As he pulls off the doll's head, laughing
And ­Miraldo throws its body in the sea

[Chorus]
Come all you rambling boys of pleasure
And ladies of easy leisure
We must say adios until we see Almería once again

[Verse 3]
El vienticinco de agosto
Abrió sus ojos Jaime Fearnley
Pero el bebe cinquante Gin-campari
Y se tendio para cerrarlos
Y Costello el rey de America
Y su esposa Cait O'Riordan
Non rompere mes colliones
Los gritos fuera de las casas

[Chorus]
All you rambling boys of pleasure
And ladies of easy leisure
We must say adios until we see Almería once again
