In honour of the virgin mary
El pilon de falces was born
Men run down a hill
And lots of bulls too
Follow their spirits all torn
Its one of those big celebrations
The whole town joins in and we see
The bulls with their courage and gristle.
Chase after the men now who be
Running their arses off quickly
Hoping ofcourse to get away
Excitability inflammability
Recklessness madness and rage
The bulls thunder downwards
Clearly volcanic
One slips and well now off the page
He crushes the men just front of him
Several were knocked down and felt
In lots of pain for me thats a gain
The cards very much so were dealt
The spanish abuse bulls like crazy
And hopefully more of them will
Get their come uppence and feel the bulls horns
If only some would instil
Dosed up on sangria probably
Dutch courage explains their mad ways
I think these abusive things that they do
Is unworthy of any praise
