El Ropavejero

Here comes the opossum
Carrying a load
Through all the streets
Of the big city

The opossum man
Buys odds and ends
And to sell them
He usually proclaims

Bottles for sale!
Used shoes!
Damaged hats
Mended pants
Exchange, sell, and buy alike

Spoiled brats!
Scaredy-cats for sale!
And children who are used to
Screaming or shouting
Exchange, sell, and buy alike

Here comes the opossum
Carrying a load
Through all the streets
Of the big city

The opossum man
Buys odds and ends
And to sell them
He usually proclaims

Papers for sale!
Old newspapers!
Singed trinkets
And battered knick-knacks
Exchange, sell, and buy alike

Gossipy women!
Annoying parrots!
And nagging old ladies
To put in my sack

Exchange, sell, and buy
Buy, sell, and exchange
Exchange, sell, and buy alike
