Lyrics
Mad in Madrid
Ill in Seville Lonely in Barcelona Then someone told you and you cheer
Hooray, hooray The bullfighter dies Hooray, hooray The bullfighter dies And nobody cries Nobody cries Because we all want the bull to survive
Gaga in Málaga No mercy in Murcia Mental in Valencia Then someone tells you and you cheer
Hooray, hooray The bullfighter dies Hooray, hooray The bullfighter dies And nobody cries Nobody cries Because we all want the bull to survive
