Coplas de La Chirigota

Around the corner we saw Mr. Servando
Dang, with the mustache
That the doctor has

To help Clementina who fainted
And the girl let out
As soon as she came to

Don't come closer, Mr. Servando (sir!)
Looking at him gives me chills (how awful!)
People are thinking that mustache is mine

Watch out for Los Pegasos band
Most have already left after a beating
With great respect, I'll tell
What I saw on the way, true or not
For three measly coins no band can do more

Last year a cunning Swedish woman stopped me
Blonder than wheat fields
Whiter than camphor

And because I stopped, I've brought trouble upon myself
Boys, be careful
With those hitchhikers

And today the blonde writes to me (sir!)
That I'm a father of a doll (how awful!)
And also, she won't accept me playing dumb

Watch out for Los Pegasos band
Most have already left after a beating
With great respect, I'll tell
What I saw on the way, true or not
For three measly coins no band can do more

María Pepa, from Claveles, is quite absent-minded
At Batato's inn
She cooks the worst

And just to watch TV, she neglects the stews
And thinks about The Invaders
And not about the rice

Due to her TV obsession (sir!)
The other night was a disaster (how awful!)
She poured detergent into the broth and half the inn got sick

Watch out for Los Pegasos band
Most have already left after a beating
With great respect, I'll tell
What I saw on the way, true or not
For three measly coins no band can do more

Drinking brings joy, and makes a man more human
Dang, what I'm seeing
Gracita with a jug

The poor thing grabs a plank like a piano
Shouting long live
The wine with on the rocks

So be careful, boys (sir!)
This mayor acts quickly (how awful!)
And said the drunks should be taken away by the tow truck

Watch out for Los Pegasos band
Most have already left after a beating
With great respect, I'll tell
What I saw on the way, true or not
For three measly coins no band can do more
