Arrrrrrrriba!
I seen you walkin' down the street.
What's that big dog by your feet?
Whatever it is, it could do with a beatin'.
It looks to me like a Puerto Rican.
A chick, like you, is oh so rare.
You get off on his greasy hair.
You got a smart apartment,
You got central heatin'.
Why go waste it on a Puerto Rican?
I'm gonna light up a beacon, on a Puerto Rican.
Gonna strike a matchstick on his head.
Light up a beacon, on a Puerto Rican.
Watch me smile as he drops down dead, yeah.
Me and the boys don't think it's right.
You stay out with HIM all night.
Don't go making such a fuss.
Come and burn him up with us.
***
Well, I'm here standin' at Tierra del Fuego,
While you're out playin' with that dago.
One day, girl, you're gonna make me cry.
I won't let that dago by.
I'm gonna light up a beacon, on a Puerto Rican.
Gonna strike a matchstick on his head.
Light up a beacon, on a Puerto Rican.
Watch me smile as he drops down dead.
Light up a beacon on a Puerto Rican.
Gonna ....
Light up a beacon on a Puerto Riiiiiiiii ......
Arrrriba!
*** Some live and demo versions are:
Now if you drag him, he will flee.
Don't you pull on that lead.
We can have his eight pints a-leaking,
Even if he's a Puerto Rican.
