Take me to the Matador - Garland Jeffreys

1. Strophe

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 down the ring you need all the help you can.

And the Mariachis sing with the lonely mandolin.

See those people shout out loud, give me more and give me more.

And I'm thinking to myself, take me to the Matador.

 

2. Strophe

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 swords, 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.

 

Bridge 1:

Do-do-do...

 

3. Strophe

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.

 

Bridge 1:

Do-do-do...

 

Take me to the Matador, take me to the Matador...
