Blood and Sand Songtext
von Roger Chapman

Well, come along to the circus
Tiger and cheetah untamed
Promise we don′t ever hurt 'em
Having ′em jump through flames

Having 'em swoop through hula hoops,
Loop de' loop, they love it too, don′t you?
These guns are just for show, you know,
The whips and all just in case you never knew

Pharaoh die roll over Cleo
Pacing ′round your cage evermore
Wishing for your savage freedom
Others plan, blood and sand

Bought little Ronnie a puppy
The one with the waggly tail
Gentleman said he was house trained
But he chews up the Daily Mail


And country life and Alfreds shoes,
Oh don't you know? We′re going to move quite soon
To a bigger place, it's the kids you know,
The country air it′ll do 'em good, that′s true

What about the dog, you say
We've phoned the R.S.P.C.A
One small jab, it's so humane
We′ll just tell Ronnie he ran, blood and sand

Da da da da .

(Blood and sand)
(Blood and sand)

Oh, Carmen Miranda was lovely
The fruit on her head was a crack
But singing Latin carambas
Just ain′t balling the jack

Then Disney gave us in his style,
Bulls that rhumba till they die for you
Spanish eyes and toreador, Latin lovers man adores cartoons

Valentino, blood and sand
One quick thrust and life was grand
Bully beef, El Torro canned
Metaphoric slang


(Blood and sand)
(Blood and sand)
(Blood and sand)
(Blood and sand)
