Lyrics

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to trill
Wherever he went he said
"Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars, on a big hard rock"

I said, "in these shoes? what is this, the peace corps?"
I said, "honey, let's do it here"

So we're sitting at a bar in guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He says, "i got a powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place
We can get there 'fore the break of day"

I said "in these shoes?
No way jose"
I said "honey, let's stay right here

No le guta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar
Es un escandalo

Then I met an englishman
"Oh," he said, "are you american?"
"Won't you walk up and down on my spine
It makes me feel strangely alive"

I said, "in these shoes?
Oh, I doubt you'd survive"
I said, "honey, let's do it"

No le gusta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar
Es un escandalo
