Garland Jeffreys - Spanish Town

Текст песни

Oh signorita
When the evening sun go down
I come to serenade you
From another part of town.
Rafaella is my mother’s name.
She loves her Juan Jose
My mother is a matriarch
Oh what more can I say
Together they raised three children
Mario Carmen and Ray
They live near de Janeiro
on Mona da Vinci Bay
I’m gonna eat my rice and beans
I’m gonna suck on a chili dog
Way down in Spanish Town
In the Spanish fog
Oh I love you to meet my friend Don Juan
He loves to play the mandolin
Signoritas they gather 'round'
Cause they think that he’s a Mexican
But I know so much better
I’m holding here the proof
Don Juan is a gringo boy
He’s not telling us the truth
But he loves his rice and beans
He’s gonna suck on a chili dog
Way down in SpanishTown
In a Spanish fog
I love you to meet Margarita
Margarita she is calling me
And I love to hear my name
Out the lights and bring on the wine
It’s Fiesta time again
You know I love my Portugal
'cause she shows me what to do
All the roads lead to Mexico, Mexico, Mehico, Mexico,
Mehico
but they bring me back to you
She’s gonna eat her rice and beans
She’s gonna suck on a chili dog
Way down in Spanish Town
In the Spanish fog
Revolution is in the street
I can feel it in my blood
I can see Allende still crying out
But they nip him at the bud
Oh they’re talking in the alleys
of Old San Juan, Old San Juan
All the soldiers gonna walk the trail
Big sombreros see them everywhere
Zapata lands in jail
Ain’t gonna eat no rice and beans
Ain’t gonna suck on nobody’s chili dog
Way down in SpanishTown
In a Spanish fog
Way down in Spanish Town
