El masticandi

The Masticandi
I come to tell my buddy Jose to travel early
I come to tell my buddy Jose to travel early
Don't walk at night, they're mugging
Don't walk at night, they're mugging
They're mugging with sticks and machetes
With a gun in hand, Jose, there's no one left to respect!
If a woman offers you a cigarette, don't act crazy
If a woman offers you a cigarette, don't act crazy
Don't accept it, it'll get you high
With red eyes, you see the world red, Jose, and a bit of madness
Be careful, buddy, be careful
Be careful, buddy, be careful
And if they offer you the white powder, tell them you don't want it
And if they offer you the white powder, tell them you don't want it
You'll spend the night talking and feeling a rush
You'll spend the night talking and feeling a rush
With glassy eyes
You get a Masticandi, Jose, and you go crazy!
Oh! The girls at the carnivals are pure and decent
Oh! The girls at the carnivals are pure and decent
And on Ash Wednesday, they act differently
And on Ash Wednesday, they act differently
They act differently, with a bit of disdain
And by November, the bald guy arrives!
Be careful, buddy, be careful
Be careful, buddy, be careful
Here comes the Masticandi, he's all excited!
He arrived at the carnivals all riled up
Be careful, buddy, be careful
Be careful, buddy, be careful
Grab your girl and dance
Because if you don't, you'll be left behind
