Road to El Dorado movie - Sixteenth Century Man lyrics

rate me

Song by Elton John<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 saturadted, 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<br>

<br>
