The bomb

...

It's a drink that changes your life

A drop of nothing makes you crazy, crazy and fun

Laughing water with drops of rose and a tasty olive

And something hot (turn it up), that's the bomb

Move it, baby, you're driving me crazy

You're tipsy from the bomb

Beautiful thing, cute thing

(Turn it up, turn it up, here comes the bomb)

Boom, boom, turning halfway around

Boom, boom, another turn more

Boom, boom, on every corner

Baby, give me more, (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

(Move it, move it), turning halfway around

Boom, boom, another turn more, (move it, move it)

On every corner, baby, give me more, (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

...

What a lively night, intensely lived

You're getting hooked, harmless, purely in love

Look, beautiful, the clothes are flying off; the moon keeps dancing

Cat-like moon (turn it up), that's the bomb

Move it, baby, you're driving me crazy

You're tipsy from the bomb

Beautiful thing, cute thing

Turn it up, turn it up, here comes the bomb, (move it, move it)

Boom, boom, turning halfway around

Boom, boom, another turn more, (move it, move it)

(Boom, boom), on every corner

Baby, give me more, (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

(Move it, move it), turning halfway around

Boom, boom, another turn more, (move it, move it)

(Boom, boom), on every corner

Baby, give me more (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

...

Paquito

Move it, baby, you're driving me crazy

You're tipsy from the bomb

Beautiful thing, cute thing

(Turn it up, turn it up, here comes the bomb)

What a lively night, intensely lived

You're getting hooked, harmless, purely in love

Look, beautiful, the clothes are flying off; the moon keeps dancing

Cat-like moon, that's the bomb

(Move it, move it), turning halfway around

Boom, boom, another turn more, (move it, move it)

(Boom, boom), on every corner

Baby, give me more, (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

(Move it, move it), turning halfway around

Boom, boom, another turn more (move it, move it)

(Boom, boom), on every corner

Baby, give me more (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

...

(Move it, move it)

(Move it, move it)

(Move it, boom, boom, move it)

(Boom, boom)

(Move it, boom, boom, move it)

(Move it, boom, boom, move it)

Turning halfway around, boom, boom

And another turn more, (move it, move it)

(Boom, boom), on every corner, (move it, move it)

(Baby give), baby give me more, (move it, move it)

Boom, boom, turning halfway around, (boom, boom)

Another turn more, (move it, move it)

(Boom, boom), on every corner, (move it, move it)

(Baby give), baby give me more

(Move it, move it)

La bomba

Es una bebida que va cambiando tu vida

Una gotita de nada te vuelve loca, loca divertida

Agua de risa con unas gotas de rosa y una aceituna sabrosa

Y algo caliente (súbelo), esa es la bomba

Muévete, mamita, que me vuelvo loco

Emborrachadita de la bomba estás

Cosa linda, cosa mona

(Sube, sube que la bomba va)

Bum, bum, dando media vuelta

Bum, bum, otra vuelta más

Bum, bum, en cada esquina

Nena, dame más, (bum, bum, a la bin bum va)

(Muévelo, muévelo), dando media vuelta

Bum, bum, otra vuelta más, (muévelo, muévelo)

En cada esquina, nena, dame más, (bum, bum, a la bin bum va)

Qué noche movida, intensamente vivida

Te vas quedando colgada, inofensiva, pura enamorada

Mira, guapa, sale volando la ropa; sigue bailando la luna

Luna gatuna (súbelo), esa es la bomba

Muévete, mamita que me vuelvo loco

Emborrachadita de la bomba estás

Cosa linda, cosa mona
