about

Captain Standish has been known to perform this on regular occasions on many years, despite medical advice, so we let him do it on this album. A fine upstanding gentleman.

lyrics

List to me while I tell you of
The Spaniard that blighted my life.
List to me while I tell you of
The man that pinched my future wife.
“Twas at the bullfight that we met him
We'd been watching his daring display
And while I'd gone out for some nuts and a programme
The dirty dog stole her away, Oh yes (Oh yes) Oh yes (Oh yes)
But I've sworn to have my revenge.

Chorus: If I catch Alphonse Spagone the toreador, Ah, Ah, Ah,
With one mighty swipe I will dislocate his bally jaw
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah,
I'll fight the bullfighter I will (He will)
And when I catch the bounder, the blighter I'll kill
He shall die (He shall die). He shall die (I'll kill him)
He shall die tid-dly-i-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti
He shall die, he shall die
For I'll raise a bunion on his Spanish onion
If I catch him bending tonight.

Yes, when I catch Spagoni he will wish that he'd never been born
Ah, Ah, Ah,
And for this special reason my stiletto I've fetched out of porn
Ah
It cost me five shillings to fetch it
This expense it has caused me much pain
But the pawnbroker's promised when I've killed Spagoni
He'll take it in pawn once again, Oh yes (Oh yes) Oh yes (Oh yes)
So tonight there will be dirty work.

Chorus:

Songs of the British Music Hall as no one intended them to be heard!

A London based musical rabble (as in Websters definition of ‘a large group of loud people who could become violent.’). A group of individuals now busy dragging up evil smelling offerings from demolished music halls, deconsecrated chapels and boarded up public houses. ... more
