Guacamole
Lyrics:
[English]
Sittin' on a bencho, waitin' for the teco guacamole
Carne con frijole', carne con frijole'
Waitin' for the sun to shine, hopin' for the chicken yakisoba
Hope there's some left over, hope there's some left over
Ay, mami, qué está haciendo, donde va?
Ay, papi, no sé, pero vete ya!
Even when the pompan takin' on a holey, guacamole
Samarranch, Havelange, Copa Mundo, UEFA de la FIFA
Just like Queen Latifah, hope she got some reefah
Solitaire, happiness, joie de vivre just-a like-a Lola
Hope she there sola, hope she there sola
Guacamole, sí señor, por favor!
...
Ay, mami, qué está haciendo, donde va?
Ay, papi, no sé pero voy pa' allá!
Even when the pompan takin' escabeche
Uy, café con leche!
Vamos a comer a lo de Beto, que nos hizo guacamole!
Carne con frijole', carne con frijole'!
Cuchufrito, habichuela, hot tamale, trucha al escabeche
Con café con leche, con café con leche
Chimichurri, zucundun con chequendengue, caraguatatuba
Y uma caipiruva, y uma caipiruva
Un poquito de manteca, cuatro cucharada e' milanesa
Queso con frambuesa, pongan bien la mesa!
(Pongan la mesa, por favor)
(Tranquilo, que hay pa' todos)
...
Boca Juniors, River Plate, Chacarita, Diego Maradona
Diego no perdona, Diego no perdona
Solitaire, happiness, joie de vivre, just-a like-a Lola
Hope she there a sola, hope she there a sola
Ay, mami qué está haciendo, donde va?
Ay, papi no sé pero voy pa' allá!
Even when the pompan takin on a lilly
Don't be so silly
Guacamole, guacamole, sí señor, por favor!
...
(Muy rico todo, muy rico)
Guacamole (Un aplauso para la sabor)
...
