…A woman named City
Hips swing male or female
We swing creating our tale
Male or female we swing
No one to blame or complain but go
Just go let go go slow go fast
But go
Crooked City A woman named cupid
City glorifying the finest brutality in blue
City ‘nuestro canto con viva emoción’
City ‘a la guerra a morir se lanzó’
Suerte que la 107 se arrulla con Pacheco
Pacheco tumbao añejo
Pacheco flauta Pacheco su nuevo tumbao
El Maestro El Artista Tremendo Cache compartido en
Cruz Juntos de nuevo como al detalle Tres de Café y dos de
azucar Con el swing del tumbao y reculando como Ciguapa
Me chulié en el hall…
