Oh........... Err...ol I would... everthing just to ... like him
He had to go to Sirocco
He's sailin the high seas
Hollywood, Captain Blood
He's billing the Nazi's
Took a rebel stand Contraband
Coast of Mexico
He want to pounce Like an animal
To girls he just can't say no
Ohhh Errol, I would give everything just to be like him
Ohhh Errol, I would give everything just to be like him
He had them all Screamin for more
He play the wild scene
Ah scandalise, no compromise
He's down on his knees
Swashbuckling he was the King
The toast of Tinseltown
They build him up They took it all
And then they just cut him down
Ohhh Errol, I would give everything just to be like him
Ohhh Errol, I would give everything just to be like him
(Bridge bass bit)
