Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim
Music: Stephen Sondheim
Tall and slender
Like an Apollo
He goes walking by
And I have to follow
Him, the boy from Tacarembo la Tumbe del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas la Junta del Sol y Cruz
When we meet
I feel I'm on fire
And I'm breathless
Every time I inquire
"How are things in Tacarembo la Tumbe del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas la Junta del Sol y Cruz?"
Why, when I speak, does he vanish? (Ah)
Why is he acting so clannish? (Ah)
I wish I understood Spanish
When I tell him I think he's the end
He giggles a lot with his friend...
Tall and slender
Moves like a dancer
But I never seem to
Get any answer
From the boy from Tacarembo la Tumbe del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas la Junta del Sol y Cruz
I got the blueth
Why are his trousers vermillion?
(His trousers are vermillion)
Why does he say he's Castilian?
(He thays that he'th Cathtilian)
Why do his friends call him "Lillian"?
And I hear, at the end of the week
He's leaving to start a boutique
Though I smile I'm
Only pretending
'Cause I know today's the
Last I'll be spending
With the boy from Tacarembo la Tumbe del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas la Junta del Sol y Cruz
Tomorrow he sails
He's leaving for Wales
To live in
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllandysiliogogogoch
Och!
