Piragua Lyrics
[PIRAGUA GUY]
Oh, qué calor, qué calor, qué calor, qué calo-o-or!
Oh, piragua, piragua
New block of ice, piragua
Piragua, piragua
So sweet and nice, piragua
Tengo de mango, tengo de parcha
De piña y de fresa
Tengo de china, de limón
De peso y de peseta, hey
Piragua, piragua
New block of ice, piragua
Piragua, piragua
So sweet and nice, piragua
It’s hotter than the islands are tonight
And Mr. Softee's trying to shut me down
But I keep scraping by the fading light
Hey, pana, this is my town!
Piragua, piragua
Keep scraping by, piragua
Piragua, piragua
Keep scraping by, piragua
Keep scraping by, keep scraping by
Lai lo le lo lai, lai lo le lo lai
Keep scraping by, keep scraping by
Lai lo le lo lai
Keep scraping by
Oh, qué calor, qué calor, qué calor, qué calo-o-or
