El Macho
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your date has gone home
Now you´re left on your own street own
Your Thought-Talking friend
Split on you in the bitter end
And you look like a fine thing, Jerry
Yeah you look like a fine thing, Jerry
They say you are a star
Is what the boys all say you are
I don´t see much tv
So you don´t mean sheet to me
But you look like a fine thing, Jerry
Yeah you look like a fine thing, Jerry
But they´ve got a name for people like you
Yeah they do
They´ve got a name for people like me, too
El Macho, El Macho
El Macho, El Macho
Now they want you to sing
Don´t get shy or anything
The boys are all here
Gonna buy you another beer
Cause you look like a fine thing, Jerry
Yeah you look like a fine thing, Jerry
El Macho, El Macho
El Macho, El Macho
