Cuentos Argentos

Rain or shine, the old lady scavenges
There's nothing to cook
The little birds, little turds
Don't sing, they lip-sync
To Chayanne's greatest hits

And Snow White who's three weeks late
And Cinderella who says she only wears All Stars
Never shoes

Poor Mambrú lost an ear in the war
And they won't let him be a pop star
Little Red Riding Hood, so streetwise, kidnaps grandma
And with the wolf they go and go

Ever since he smokes 'paquito' Romeo doesn't step out on the balcony
And Peter Pan blows fortunes on 'taxi-boys'

Argentinian tales to force you to sleep
That my mom used to tell me
But you know how it is in the land of I don't remember
Did they end well or badly?

The Three Little Pigs have their house foreclosed on Monday
By the Banco Francés
The Lamplighter stumbles and spins around nicely
In the colonel's brothel

The picketers won't let Hansel and Gretel through
And Manuelita stays in Paris as an illegal immigrant
Washing dishes

Ever since he drinks 'la Buena' Romeo doesn't step out on the balcony
And Peter Pan blows fortunes on 'taxi-boys'

Argentinian tales to force you to sleep
That my mom used to tell me
But you know how it is in the land of I don't remember
Did they end well or badly?
