Los Largos Songtext

von William Topley

Spoken: Spanish Dialogue

Limousines and diamond rings
Private planes and public shame
The market crash, the ego flash
Before a thing can make you cry
It's got to learn to make you laugh

And I want to hold you by my side
I want to make you laugh I want to make you cry
And I want to hold you by my side
I need money so much; I need money so bad

Spanish dialogue

What you gotta do to get ahead these days it seems
You gotta rock Manhattan and Staten, Long Island,
Jamaica and Queens
What you gotta do to get ahead these days it seems
You gotta rock Manhattan and Staten, the Bronx, Jamaica
And Queens

It's moonlit miles and patrons' smiles and hollow kingdoms
It's private planes and ankle chains and public shames
Limousines and diamond rings and gasoline
Before a thing can make you cry
She's got to learn to let you sing
