"Gentlemen, gentlemen please! Señors, por favor!"
I once met a man with a sense of adventure.
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went.
He said, "Let's make love on a mountaintop,
under the stars on a big hard rock."
I said, "In these shoes? What is this, the Peace Corps?"
I said, "Honey, let's do it here."
So we're sittin' at a bar in Guadalajara,
in walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes.
He says, "I've got a powerful horse outside.
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride.
I know a little place we can get before the break of day."
I said, "In these shoes? No way, Jose!"
I said, "Honey, let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
Then I met an Englishman.
"Oh," he said, "Are you American?
Won't you walk up and down on my spine?
It makes me feel strangely alive."
I said, "In these shoes? Oh, I doubt you'd survive."
I said, "Honey . . . let's do it . . . hehehehe"
"Let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
