The Shepton Mallet Matador

[Intro]
Now Jacko was so happy, just workin' on the farm
With the cows and the chickens, he couldn't do no harm
For years and years he worked and he scraped and he saved
To take one day the holiday he craved
But now he'll never be the same again
Since he took that holiday in Spain

[Chorus]
Oh ho, make way for that Timsbury torero
Olé for that Somerset senor
He's a real West Country Caballero
The Shepton Mallet Matador

[Verse 1]
Now the boys in the village all think it's very queer
The way that Jacko drinks wine instead of beer
And they say he swapped his favourite cider jar
For a bottle of sherry and a thirty-bob guitar

[Chorus]
Oh ho, make way for that Timsbury torero
Olé for that Somerset senor
He's a real West Country Caballero
The Shepton Mallet Matador

[Verse 2]
Now the pigs and chickens are diggin' up the dirt
When Jacko comes wavin' his old red flannel shirt
And he's always chasin' round the old red cow
'Cos he thinks that he's a real bullfighter now

[Chorus]
Oh ho, make way for that Timsbury torero
Olé for that Somerset senor
He's a real West Country Caballero
The Shepton Mallet Matador

[Verse 3]
Now on the farm when you hear hoots and howls
It's Jacko playin' Flamenco with the fowls
And every time he clicks those castanets
Instead of eggs, the hens lay omelettes

[Chorus]
Oh ho, make way for that Timsbury torero
Olé for that Somerset senor
He's a real West Country Caballero
The Shepton Mallet Matador
Oh ho, make way for that Timsbury torero
Olé for that Somerset senor
He's a real West Country Caballero
The Shepton Mallet Matador

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh ho, make way for that Timsbury torero
Olé for that Somerset senor
He's a real West Country Caballero
The Shepton Mallet Matador

[Verse 4]
Now the farmer's missus went wild with delight
When Jacko serenaded her last night
And the farmer stopped him singin' Ceilito Lindo
With a bucket of summat he threw from a bedroom window

[Chorus]
Oh ho, make way for that Timsbury torero
Olé for that Somerset senor
He's a real West Country Caballero
The Shepton Mallet Matador

La la la la la la la, Viva Chew Magna!
La la la la la la la, the Shepton Mallet Matador!
