Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 Pablo's hippos
