Weight Upon Weight
Hey Bartola!,
I leave you these two pesos,
Pay the rent,
The phone and the light.
From what's left,
Take from there for your expenses,
Save the rest for me,
To buy my alicur.
The money I earn,
I give it all to you,
I give you weight upon weight,
Always until reaching two.
You don't appreciate my cents,
And you spend them horribly,
That's why I'm not rich,
For being wasteful.
Look Bartola!,
I leave you these two pesos,
Pay the rent,
The phone and the light.
From what's left,
Take from there for your expenses,
Save the rest for me,
To buy my alicur.
If you have enough for the maid,
Then pay her all at once,
You have weight upon weight,
Even if it doesn't go beyond two.
Save something for tomorrow,
You have to be conservative,
You'll see how you save,
For a bison coat.

Poor Bartola!
