Song lyrics
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
I see you in the park, you're always wearing Dodger blue
Mad doggin' me and anyone from any other crew
I am small but I'm strong, I'll get it on with you
If you want me to, what else can I do?
Everyone would take a cue from anything you do
If you want them to, what else can they do?
I don't want to fight, I want to get along with you
This time of night's for singing songs about the local news
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
I'll come around and make peace, get down, have a barbeque
Let's keep the moon awake and do electric boogaloo
I am small but I'm strong, you see I'm just like you
If you only knew that I'm just like you
All the world would take a cue from anything you do
If you only knew that they're just like you
I don't want to fight, I want to get along with you
This time of night's for singing songs about the local news
I don't want to fight, I want to get along with you
This time of night's for singing songs about the local news
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
If you want me to, what else can I do?
'Cause I'm just like you if you only knew
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
Cabron, cabron
