Lyrics by tim rice
From the soundtrack the road to el dorado
Oh its great to see our homeland
Breathe the iberian atmosphere
Just because we are hispanic
Doesnt mean were oceanic
Quite frankly weve had water up to here
Weve nade waves to last a lifetime
Weve been saturated, almost drowned
We are spanish not caribbean
We are human, not amphibian
Well seek our fortunes on spains solid ground
Theres no future in the new world
Only fools believe the tales
Of the gold of el dorado
Only suckers set their sails
We have seen the way the tide is turning
We see what no sailor can
We are in the ball, discerning
Were anit-diluvian
Sixteenth century man
Two very fine examples of
Sixteenth, sixteenth century man
There are women who are lining
Every avenue in every port
Now at last well get to grips with
Things they never equip ships with
We have sailed into our last resort
Theres no goldmine in the new world
Its a trick to get recruits
On the boat to el dorado
Were returning to our roots
Were going back to land locked ladies
Cortez never let them board
All in all the point weve made is
We dont want to go abroad
Two very fine examples of
Sixteenth century man
Two terra firma samples of
Sixteenth, sixteenth century man
