There was a little Spanish Flea.
A record star he thought he'd be.
He heard of singers like The Beatles
and The Chipmunks he'd seen on 📺
Why not a little Spanish flea?
And so he hid
inside a 🐶 from Madrid.
He arrived in the city
still singin' his sweet harmony
as proud as any 🪳 could be.

28 Feb 1966

Favourite songs everyone?

This one co-written with and recorded by Tijuana Brass has the Bacharach hallmark all over it. He wrote some superb brass refrains.
