06 Dec 10 - 04:23 PM (#3047679) Subject: Lyr Add: MARACAS IN CARACAS From: Sugwash Maracas in Caracas I was a lone trans-Atlantic sailor On a pilgrimage to Venezuela To visit the land of the boss The great Edmundo Ros Now Edmundo is jolly and round The king of the Latin American sound Most famous son of Caracas Most famous pair of maracas Ch And I hear maracas in Caracas In the night clubs and bars Maracas in Caracas and Spanish guitars The samba, the rumba and cha-cha-chas And the pretty señoritas who don't wear no shoes Maracas in Caracas ay-yi-yi la-la-Laa Maracas in Caracas ay-yi-yi la-la-laa To the market place I was taken By the delicious smell of smoking bacon But then I nearly have a fit It was Edmundo being roasted on a spit So I said to this bloke, "Hey señor What are they doing this terrible thing for? Why are they roasting all over The king of the bossa nova?" (chorus variation: ...don't wear no eye shadow) This fellow then explained to me The orders came from high authority For the secret police of Caracas To grab Edmundo and his maracas The king of the rumba and samba Was slowly reduced to a smoking ember For leading the pasodoble-like on coo-coo rajaha With the president's wife (chorus variation: ...don't wear no shin pads) The thing that I wondered was How could they do that to Edmundo Ros? The famous king of the rumba But then I awoke from my slumber Final chorus: There were no more maracas in Caracas In the night clubs and bars No more maracas in Caracas or Spanish guitars The sambas, the rumbas and cha-cha-chas And the pretty señoritas who don't like Brazilians Maracas and Caracas ay-yi-yi la-la-laa Maracas in Caracas ay-yi-yi la-la-laa There you go. |
