Pedro the bull was a killer.

King of the bullfight arena.

He'd wipe up the floor with each brave matador.

Then have matador stew for his dinner.

The bullfighter was a lady.

And it was true love at first sight.

                             G         
Her red cape was waving, but Pedro was shaving.

He wanted to date her that night.

Pedro the bull he was smitten.

First time the love bug had bitten.

   Gm         C           F          A#
He once was a mad bull, a wild and a bad bull.

    E          Gm        A
But now he was mild as a kitten.
{Bridge 2}
    Gm                      A
The people were starting to hiss.

And Pedro he liked what he saw.

                         G          
He floated on air with a rose in his hair.

      D                 A         Dm
As he waltzed with that sweet matador.
{Bridge 3}
D     A                       D
  His fate was a bad one, his tale (tail) is a sad one.

     A                      Dm          Dm
It's hanging right o-ver..: He-e-er doo-oo-oor...
