JERRY

• By: Diogo Defante

Lyrics:

[Português]

[English]

Sempre que acordo de manhã, procuro queijo

Whenever I wake up in the morning, I look for cheese

Tomo meu café, e a mamãe me dá um beijo

I have my coffee, and Mom gives me a kiss

Mas esta manhã não encontrei, alguém comeu

But this morning I couldn't find any, someone ate it

Se pego o safado, ele vai virar comida de tubarão

If I catch that rascal, he'll become shark food

Jerry pegou meu queijo (meu queijo)

Jerry took my cheese (my cheese)

Vou fazê-lo andar na prancha

I'll make him walk the plank

Jerry pegou meu queijo (meu queijo)

Jerry took my cheese (my cheese)

Vou fazê-lo andar na prancha, Jerry

I'll make him walk the plank, Jerry

Descobri que o safado era um roedor

Turns out the rascal was a rodent

Deixou seus rastros de merda pelo chão

Left behind messes all over the floor

Vou persegui-lo, sentirá muita dor

I'm going to chase him, he'll feel a lot of pain

Cortarei suas bolas, o farei lamber minhas botas

I'll cut his balls off, make him lick my boots

Jerry pegou meu queijo (meu queijo)

Jerry took my cheese (my cheese)

Vou fazê-lo andar na prancha

I'll make him walk the plank

Jerry pegou meu queijo (meu queijo)

Jerry took my cheese (my cheese)

Vou fazê-lo andar na prancha, Jerry

I'll make him walk the plank, Jerry

(Jerry, Jerry, Jerry)

(Jerry, Jerry, Jerry)

Jerry

Jerry

Atirei o pau no rato, mas o rato não faleceu

I shot the rat, but it didn't die

Dona Chica admirou-se com o berro que o rato deu

Mrs. Chica was surprised by the squeal the rat made

Ai-ai, ai-ai, ai-ai, ai-ai

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Senta no colinho de papai

Sits on Daddy’s lap

Jerry, não faças mais isso

Jerry, don’t do that anymore

Jerry, seu teimosinho

Jerry, you stubborn one

Vou cortar sua barriga

I’ll cut your belly wide open

Morar dentro dela, e acariciar o seu rim

Live inside it, and pet your kidney

Pililim, pililim

Pililim, pililim

Jerry pegou meu queijo (meu queijo)

Jerry took my cheese (my cheese)

Vou fazê-lo andar na prancha

I'll make him walk the plank

Jerry pegou meu queijo (meu queijo)

Jerry took my cheese (my cheese)

Vou fazê-lo andar na prancha, Jerry

I'll make him walk the plank, Jerry

(Jerry, Jerry, Jerry)

(Jerry, Jerry, Jerry)

Jerry (Jerry, Jerry, Jerry)

Jerry (Jerry, Jerry, Jerry)

Jerry

Jerry

Hey, hey

Hey, hey
