[English]

Tinky Winky is a feminist

Likes Milka chocolate

I go to Taco Bell by Cabify

The grape from Vinalopó

Voted left like me

Ursula no longer yells at Ariel

Purple things

Glitter on the face

Purple things

Here's another typical song

Purple things

Glitter on the face

Purple things

Here's another typical song

...

On the ninth line of the metro

Prince and Elizabeth Taylor are riding

Monica's wall saw us burn

A republican and contemporary

You like the smell of lavender

Choose the color you want to be

Purple things

Glitter on the face

Purple things

Here's another typical song

Purple things

Glitter on the face

Purple things (here's another!)

Here's another typical song

A bruise, Holy Week

500 euros to buy Tampax

In Monsters, Inc., the bad guy is Randall

Lactose-free products for Juls and Sandra

Clothes dyed purple

Eggplant and beets

The sofa cover in our house

Trancas y Barrancas

Purple things

Glitter on the face

Purple things

Here's another typical song

Purple things

Glitter on the face

Purple things

Here's another typical song

Purple things, purple things

Purple things

Reminds me of Putochinomaricón
