Allan Sherman - Spanish Flea lyrics

rate me

Parody of "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass) <br />

It's good to be a Spanish flea.<br />

The Spanish dogs all scratch at me.<br />

I make my home in a spaniel<br />

Called Jose or Manuel<br />

Or Juan,<br />

And I wouldn't put you on. <br />

My summer place is some great dane,<br />

In Barcelona, northern Spain.<br />

And though it rains in July,<br />

I keep dry way up high<br />

'Cause the rain<br />

Falls mainly in the plain. <br />

Ah, but in the wintertime,<br />

I find a cozy saint bernard.<br />

Up the Spanish Alps we climb,<br />

Complete with anti-freeze,<br />

More brandy, please. <br />

I've got a sweetheart flea, cute kid.<br />

Lives on a beagle near Madrid.<br />

If she can sublet her beagle<br />

I'll make her my legal<br />

First wife,<br />

And we'll live a dog's life. <br />

But if she refuses me,<br />

I'm gonna shout, "Who cares!"<br />

And move somewheres. <br />

Perchance I'll fly to southern France,<br />

Where any flea can find romance.<br />

I'll pack my kit and caboodle<br />

And find me a poodle<br />

And dance<br />

'Scuse me, Rover, which way's France? <br />
