Manuel

Manuel lives near Tecoma Manuel footloose and free
So many miles from his homeland by the Mediterranean sea
But around the hills of Sherbrooke he doesn't seem out of place
And in Kallista and in Belgrave his is a familiar face.

Manuel he lives long distance from his homeland in Spain
But he thinks that he will go back, back to his roots again
Still he likes the Sherbrooke mountains and he walks for miles around
From Belgrave up to Olinda and through Grant's Picnic ground.

Manuel is a clever fellow and he can speak fluently
In Spanish, German, English and in tongue of Italy
He is highly educated and it would seem to me
That perhaps he's been to Uni and has a language degree.

Manuel is a well known fellow in the mountain countryside
From Upwey up to Emerald he is known both far and wide
Only last week saw him walking towards Tecoma in the rain
Must be cold in Sherbrooke mountains for a man from sunny Spain.
