24) Pablo el pulpito

Based on: Spain 2010 - Algo pequeñito

 


The octopus Paul, the eight-legged oracle,
He lives in the Sea Life Aquarium
In Oberhausen, Germany.

Everyone knows Paul, the famous psychic Paul,
‘Cause he predicted all the results
of the Germany team right.

Germans want to eat him, Spaniards to protect him,
He got death threats, cooking death threats, from Argentineans and Dutch,

Many want to see him fried
And others (like Orestis) want to see him crucified.
Some don’t care if grilled or what,
As long as he is cooked, a dish of any kind.

Pablo, el pulpito,  oh oh oh ooooh
In Spain he’s a hero, oh oh oh ooooh
He’s a worldwide famous football fan,
That predicted German results and the final winner, Spain.
Pablo, el pulpito, oh oh oh ooooh
In Spain he’s a hero, oh oh oh ooooh
Everybody tries to understand,
If he’s only being lucky
Or a visionary squid.

Even Zapatero,  fearing for the fellow,
Has offered him Spanish protection from the angry hungered ones.

TV networks in three states
Broadcasted his predictions interrupting their programmes,
Waiting all, in anxious mood,
An octopus to eat a little piece of food.

Pablo, el pulpito, oh oh oh ooooh
In Spain he’s a hero, oh oh oh ooooh
He’s the world most famous football fan,
He’s on Twitter, he’s on Facebook, he even has a Wiki page.
Pablo, el pulpito, oh oh oh ooooh
In Spain he’s a hero, oh oh oh ooooh
Everybody tries  to understand,
If he’s only being lucky
Or a visionary squid
Or a visionary squid.

Pablo, el pulpit, oh oh oh ooooh
In Spain he’s a hero, oh oh oh ooooh
He’s a worldwide famous football fan,
That predicted German results and the final winner, Spain.
Pablo, el pulpito, oh oh oh ooooh
In Spain he’s a hero,  ooooh
Now I have only one question left,
Will he ever make predictions
In Eurovision Song Contest?
