Ode to Bilbao!
Based on the tune of the opening song in Beauty and the Beast (Little town, full of little people, waking up to say "Bonjour!")
Intro:
Little town
It's a quiet village
Ev'ry day
Like the one before
Little town
Full of little people
Waking up to say: ¡joder!
There goes the junkie with his needle, like always
Along the river, still and green
There are clouds up in the sky
And the people are equally high
Stumbling home in the morning from the bar
Remember to pay your drinks when leaving
Eskerikasko and aguur¡
The Guggenheim's the trump
Right next to it a dump
There's no denying the quaintness of Bilbao
Look there she goes, she's wearing high heels
Look there, tight pants, and a Basque haircut!
Off goes a bomb, another dead councillor!
But by night fall the town forgets it all!
Look there they go the Erasmus students
They fill a club and make a scene
With a dazed and wasted look
The Irish say "Oh Fook!"
And in Dubliner they have another beer!
Bridge:
Ooooh, isn't this the centre
Of the whole wide world and the blue sea?
You'll never need another
But you'll never know it's true until you leave!
Now there's no doubt that Bilbao has beauty
The ambient has no parallel!
But I'm not sure we all accede
That Euskal Herria should secede?
But Bilbao's different from the rest of Spain
Oh so very different from the rest of Spain
So different from the rest of Spain are the Basques!
