Lyrics

There's something there
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I was patrolling a Pachinko
Nude noodle model parlor in the nefarious zone
Hanging out with insects under ducting
The CIA was on the phone
Well
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
Such is life
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
Latino caribo mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair, oh
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Latino caribo mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la la-lala)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Latino caribo mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
For the Zapatistas I'll rob my sisters
Of all the curtain and lace
Down at the bauxite mine
You get your own uniform
Have lunchtimes off
Take a monorail to your home
Checkmate baby
God bless us and our home
Where ever we roam
Now take us home flaquito
Latino caribo mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo mondo bongo
