Firdinand Lyrics by Robbie Schaefer

Songs For Kids Like Us

2006

There once lived a bull, a magnificent bull
In a pasture near Barcelona
He would romp and he'd play through the flowers all day
And he smelled just like Eau de Cologne-a
He was gentle and kind, and his "moo" was refined
Which the rest of the bulls all resented
For when he'd start to "moo," in a moment or two
He'd have all the cows discontented
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, the bull with the delicate ego
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, the heifers all called him "Amigo"
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, he'd curtsy and greet them politely
Now, he knew how to tango and dance the fandango, but he never learned to fight
Now, there once lived a bee, a magnificent bee
Who was feeling so chuck full of vigor
That he got out of hand and he stung Ferdinand
With his sharp little thing-a-ma-jigger
Ferdinand was so hurt, he was pawing the dirt
When a bull picador chanced to sight him
The picador cried, as a matter of pride
"I'll get my stiletto and fight him!"
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, he smiled when the picador faced him
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, he winked and the picador chased him
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, he viewed the occasion so lightly
When the picador missed him, then Ferdinand kissed him, for he never learned to fight
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, the bull with the sheep-like demeanor
Ferdinand, Ferdinand, you fainted the bull-fight arena
Ferdinand, oh so grand, when he faced those bull-fighters nightly
He would look at their features, then hide in the bleachers, for he never learned to fight
When the picador missed him, then Ferdinand kissed him, for he never learned to fight
Now, he knew how to tango and dance the fandango, but he never learned to fight
