Paella - Cliff Richard, The Shadows

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
