Perdido |
| Lost, real lost! |
| I was having the time of my life, I hadn’t a cat or a wife, |
| There wasn’t a single little thing to ever stop me then from getting to swing, |
| I was happy as a pup just chewing on a bone, |
| And making music on my own, |
| Yes, I was bold and boppin' as a boy could be, |
| My melodies I’d chop ‘em all around the man, and see, |
| I was home and I was roamin', living |
| Just to get my kicks on 66 and it was right for me. |
| And then without noticing I dropped my map |
| In of itself a crazy mishap, |
| I took a dusty road down to Mexico way, |
| I got lost, now what more can I say? |
| I think I hear you, my friend, |
| I have had a very remarkable excursion myself, |
| And I’m not speaking in hyperbole, |
| I stopped by a shady spot to have a drink, |
| South of the border, what you’ll order can be more than you think. |
| Remember at all times to be aware of indiscretion, |
| The world can turn into the heart of a soul, |
| Or down the rabbit hole! |
| And may I emphasize that no two people are quite alike, |
| But when you drink that deadly spike, PRAY for tomorrow to come! |
| I’m not someone who gives their secrets all away, |
| That said, bar none, |
| There will never be any stories quite like this one. |
| Love finds you and your old life will be over in a moment, |
| And you’ll never be, ever be, you will never be the same! |
| Yes I took the craziest trip, and flipped for a Freudian slip, |
| Now I am forever, ever, ever, ever LOST. |
| Perdido, I looked for my heart, it’s perdido, |
| I lost it way down in Torito |
| The day the fiesta started. |
| Bolero, |
| I swear that they play the Bolero |
| She kissed me the listing sombrero |
| And that`s when my heart departed. |
| High was the sun when I held her close, |
| Low was the moon when she said, «Adios!» |
| Perdido, my heart ever since is perdido, |
| I know I must go to Torito |
| To find what I lost—perdido. |
| 2nd chorus: |
| Went down to reach her, and I held her close, |
| Come to the preacher, then said, «Adios.» |
| Now, perdido, |
| A condo in fair Escondido, |
| Where we can be found incognito, enjoying a rare siesta. |
| In summer we tried to explore Sausalito, |
| But diapers and babies can veto |
| A dance of a chance fiesta. |
| Yes I took the craziest trip, and flipped for a Freudian slip, |
| Now I am forever, ever, ever, ever LOST. |
