Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by tim rice<br>From the soundtrack the road to el dorado<br><br>Oh it's great to see our homeland<br>Breathe the iberian atmosphere<br>Just because we are hispanic<br>Doesn't mean we're oceanic<br>Quite frankly we've had water up to here<br><br>We've nade waves to last a lifetime<br>We've been saturated, almost drowned<br>We are spanish not caribbean<br>We are human, not amphibian<br>We'll seek our fortunes on spain's solid ground<br><br>There's no future in the new world<br>Only fools believe the tales<br>Of the gold of el dorado<br>Only suckers set their sails<br>We have seen the way the tide is turning<br>We see what no sailor can<br>We are in the ball, discerning<br>We're anit-diluvian<br>Sixteenth century man<br>Two very fine examples of<br>Sixteenth, sixteenth century man<br><br>There are women who are lining<br>Every avenue in every port<br>Now at last we'll get to grips with<br>Things they never equip ships with<br>We have sailed into our last resort<br><br>There's no goldmine in the new world<br>It's a trick to get recruits<br>On the boat to el dorado<br>We're returning to our roots<br>We're going back to land locked ladies<br>Cortez never let them board<br>All in all the point we've made is<br>We don't want to go abroad<br>Two very fine examples of<br>Sixteenth century man<br>Two terra firma samples of<br>Sixteenth, sixteenth century man
