El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dora----ado

El Dorado, Queen of Cities			Overflowing with excess
Every turn exotic, lavish			Precious wonders number less
Even now into temptation			Surely, you would not deny
One who’s come so far to find you		All your blessings safe goodbye

(Chorus)

El Dorado golden prison			Shield perfection, shield despair
How can one who knows such splendor	Feel the answer lies elsewhere?
Oh I know I must leave her			Or she’ll be the death of me!
Put my trust in poorer places			let the Queen of Cities be…

(Chorus)
