Qué Onda Güero Lyrics
[Intro]
¿Qué onda güero?
¿Qué onda Jose?
[Verse 1]
See the vegetable man in the vegetable van
With a horn that's honking like a mariachi band
In the middle of the street, people gather around
Put the dollar-dollar-dollar in the can, ¡Ay wey!, ¿qué onda?
TJ cowboys hang around
Sleeping in the sidewalk with a Burger King crown
Never wake them up, más cerveza
'Til the rooster crows vatos ver gallos
[Chorus 1]
¿Qué onda güero?
¿Qué onda güero? (¿Qué güero?)
¿Qué onda güero?
¿Qué onda güero?
[Verse 2]
Mano Blancos roll with crowbars
Singing rancheras on cheap guitars
Abuelitas with plastic bags
Walking to the church with the Spanish candles
Dirty borracho says 'que putas!'
Ándale, Joto, your popsicle's melting
Run better run, da doo run run
Mara Salvatrucha in the midnight sun
[Chorus 2]
Güero, where are you going?
¿Qué onda güero?
Güero, where are you going?
¿Qué onda güero?
[Verse 3]
Rampart boys with loaded rifles
Guatemalan soccer ball instant replays
Mango ladies, vendedoras
And a bus-stop singing Banda Macho chorus
[Chorus 3]
¿Qué onda güero?
¿A donde vayas?
¿Qué onda güero?
¿A donde vayas?
[Interlude]
¿Y donde encontrastes ese? en un hoyo
Alla en la Pico
La Pico y Vermont
Hey vamos a jugar futbol ahí en el Griffith park
La locura
Yeah now I'm going to LACC, man
I'm taking a ceramics class
[Bridge]
See the vegetable man
In the vegetable van...
[Interlude]
James Joyce
Michael Bolton!
[Chorus 4]
¿Qué onda güero?
Hey where you going?
¿Qué onda güero?
Hey where you going?
[Outro]
Hey what's up güero?
You working out güero?
You doing pushups?
¡No te veo güero!
¡El güero!
¿Que te pasa? ¿Que no te pasa?
Otra vero güero
Yo I saw a puppet at Tang's
With a mullet and a popsicle
Hey güero!
¡Que locura!
Chico
Hey güero
Yeah Bro?
Hehehe, footlong?
Let's go to Cap'n Cork, they have the new Yanni cassette
