LITTLE WHITE BULL (Bart - Pratt - Bennett) TOMMY STEELE (Decca, 1959) From the film "Tommy The Toreador" Once upon a time there was a little white bull Very sad, because he was a little white bull (Little white bull) All the black bulls called him a coward Just 'cause he was white Only black bulls go to the bullring Only black bulls fight When he asked his mama if a little white bull (Little white bull) Ever had a chance of turning black His mama said, you silly little bull You're a pretty little bull You're my little bull So please don't ask me why, little bull You just ain't black! But this did not satisfy that little white bull (Little white bull) He was an exception to that little white rule (Little white rule) Everyday alone in the meadow, he'd find things to charge Till one day he really imagined, that his horns were large Bold as brass right then and then, the little white bull (Little white bull) Quickly found the nearest road to town And people said, what a funny little bull What a fluffy little bull, he's our little bull He marched along, a proud little bull And hit the town! It was the day of the bullfight, all the town were there Waiting to see the famous matador Trumpeters sounded a fanfare, tam-ta-da-dam-tam-taaa! Out from the throats of the crowd came a mighty roar Into the ring to the shout of a great olé (olé!) Came the parade, all prepared for a mighty fray Matadors and picadors and toreadors And who do you think as well? Trotting right behind them came the little white bull (The little white bull) How they laughed out loud to see the little white bull (Little white bull) Trotting 'round the giant arena, with his head up high Till the matador in the centre caught his tiny eye Charging right up to him went the little white bull (Little white bull) Charging twice and charging once again The matador cried, torro little bull! You're not a little bull, you're a brave little bull You're gonna be a great little bull The best in Spain! Then the crowd all shouted, torro little bull! You're not a little bull, you're a brave little bull You're gonna be a great little bull The best in Spain! So if you got a little bull, that's a white little bull It's quite possible that it might be the bull That's the best in Spain |
