Paella

(album: Finders Keepers - 1966)

There was a girl noble and high born
So beautiful, she had the world at her feet
Nobles and Princes and Knights who were lovelorn
Would come to her each hoping he'd be the one she choose to meet

Paella he said he would do it
Paella he said he would try
He said he would start to capture her heart
For her he'd live and he'd die

There was a boy humble but handsome
He was the cook serving her father the lord
He love her so much if he'd King's ransom
That would have gone
Buying her gifts but not one could he afford

Fruit from the earth, fish from the ocean
These in his hands became a new recipe
With love he spiced it and added devotion
When this was done
Named it Paella, which means for her you see

Paella he said he would do it
Paella he said he would try
He said he would start to capture her heart
For her he'd live and he'd die

So came the day she stood beside him
Love in her eyes as he took hold of hand
Her father's blessing had been given to them
So they were wed, rich girl and poor boy
As bells rang through the land

Paella he said he would do it
Paella he said he would try
And so he would start to capture her heart
For her he'd live and he'd die
