Once there was a young singer from Jerez, She looked a lot like Rosie Perez She drank too much sherry And fell off the ferry But drowned not, and lived till she could marry
There once was a guitarist in Sevilla, He was real big 'n' hairy - like a goriya. His compas was real tight Yet he put dancers in a fright Coz while he was playing - It looked like he's about to take a ****e.
There once was a dancer from Ronda who tried a corte while riding a Honda, she took a great risk, nearly messed up her disk, and then went to eat at the fonda

There was a cantaora from Nantucket, Who's head was shaped like a bucket, She sang the Solea of Frijones, She went out of compas, and lost her cojones! then under breath she said suck it.
There was a palmero from Malta, Who was quite good with the alta, When asked how, he replies, I can tell you no lies, I learned from Churchill at Yalta.
There once was a guitarists named Ricardo, Who played fast scales with Picado, He was known as the best, And he challenged the rest, Then along came a guy named Gerardo
A guitarist named Paco de God Played flamenco that sounded too mod Though his chording was snazzy It was a little too jazzy And his falsetas exceedingly odd
