Paella – Cliff Richard (from “Finders Keepers” soundtrack)
By
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
