La Cotorra

I like to chat, and here I am, you see
With my local chatterbox who doesn’t speak English
I live in Caripao, work at the station
I live this life upside down and right side up.

I owe the Italian and the Portuguese, and in apartment UD3
They’ll throw me out on the street if I don’t pay this month
How do you see it, man, how do you see it?

I gotta get up at the crack of dawn
And get in that damn long line
And as for a house or an apartment
I’m really sorry, I’m really sorry.

And that’s not all, I can’t handle the bakery prices
And the store prices that are even higher,
What irony, man, what irony.

And the piggy bank face, I’m stuck with it,
Still, I keep it cool with my chatterbox
Get in the groove, get it going.
