Juanita and Chucho went down to the river
Stood on the banks of the Magdalena
The missed their days at Hacienda Napoles 
Where they always got paid and ate fresh tamales 
Between the boiling oil for their enemies
Heavy artillery from many countries
Smuggling planes and submarines
And trucks with false bottoms to bring that sweet powder to you and me

Gracias América por esta oportunidad
Muchas gracias señiors

For every Pablo there's a replacement
By definition more violent than the last one
Created by America's unwinable war
Persona de color!

Pablo's hippos
Pablo's hippos

They wallow in glorious mud all day
They ain't going nowhere they're here to stay
From the war that took them from far away
To haunt this land till their dying day
Pablo's hippos are the living memory
Basking in the river like dead-eyed sentries
Pablo's replacements do not care
Business is booming under the hippo's dead-eyed stare

Gracias América por esta oportunidad
Muchas gracias señiors 

For every Pablo, there's a replacement
By definition more violent than the last one
Keep if flowing
Keep it, keep it flowing 

Pablo's hippos
