Canción "de que"

President tells me 'about what'
Singer tells me 'about what'
Manager, announcer too

'About what...' he's going to tell me something
'About what...' he says 'that he tells me
that he's going to tell me...'

'He's going to tell me...'
What will it be, what will it be?
'He's going to advise me'
-he says he's going to talk to me-
'He's going to warn me'
What the hell will it be...
what will he say, what will he say...?
-he says 'that he will think about it...'-

He tells me 'that it makes him angry...'
About what?
He tells me to think
'about what will happen...'

What will happen
what will it be, what will it be...?
He tells me he will talk
-what a shame he feels...!-
He tells me 'that he can no longer bear
having to explain...'
(what he says he will say.)

He tells me 'that he no longer knows why
people do not understand
that it already happened...'

What a thing with life
that the people see!
And he, who reached the top
tells me 'about what...'
What stuttering,
what maybe
that he can't believe
is what he tells me 'about what...'

'About what...' he's going to tell me something
'About what...' he says 'that he tells me
that he's going to tell me...'

'He's going to tell me...'
What will it be, what will it be?
'He's going to advise me'
-he says he's going to talk to me-
'He's going to warn me'
What the hell will it be...
what will he say, what will he say...?
