Surprise
The drunk stopped singing and began to tell his good story
Fortuna, the neighborhood was asleep, the moon was shining brightly
Suddenly, a neon-splattered thief leapt out like a tiger
From the alley and put a Magnum in front of the drunk
To his face, and said: Give it all, or he'll shoot
The drunk, trembling, handed the thief what he had just
If you find a Smith & Wesson, some pesos and a dagger
The thief, astonished, asked him: And what do you do with it?
All this? You better tell me the whole story
And I hope that the human does not affect your memory
Sometimes talking is essential, but other times it is better
Keep quiet because sometimes speaking is a fatal mistake
With the information that the drunk gave him three blocks north
The thief found the bodies of a woman and a man
In a coat, lying on the sidewalk in the pre-natal position
The thief shook the woman with his foot, to see if she would react
As nothing happened, he bent down and searched for her to see if he could find anything
And found nothing
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Quack quack quack quack quack quack
The thief turned his attention to the body of the man in the overcoat
He crouched over him and recognized him by the gold tooth he was wearing
Oh, but it's old Pedro Navaja, and he began to make fun of him
While I was recording it
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Sometimes speaking is essential, but other times it is better to remain silent
Because sometimes speaking is a deadly mistake
Like lightning, the knife entered his body, searching for the
Alma, the thief felt the Moon burning his insides, and saw the most
Great miracle of his whole life: He died watching the Sun come out of a laughing mouth!
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Quack quack quack quack quack quack
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Pedro Navaja took his identity card and put it in the thief's pocket
Behind the pants to confuse the investigation. Pedro, injured
From the bullet, he took his other dagger, he always walks around with two, when
He goes out to work, and from the neighborhood to the Moon his laughter shone
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Life gives you surprises, hey buddy!
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
What do these newbies think? This is my neighborhood, dad!
