La Sonora Blues
That
guy over there's still waiting for
a drink
And I'm
still waiting for a drink
In the bar
next door, it's not a problem
In the bar
next door they've all got one
You'll never
be standing there without a beer
Saying
what's a man gotta do
To get a
beer in here?
And the
beer's got bubbles
Yeah the
beer's got bubbles
There's
something in your beer missing
In the bar
next door, it's just fizzin'
You'll never
have to think about ordering wine
That beer
next door
Is gonna
taste just fine
The tapas is
good
And the
bravas is good
The
tortilla's perfectly cooked
The choice of bocadillos'll have you hooked
If you
forget to eat between two and four
Well, they
serve all night
In the bar
next door
The
bathroom's clean
The marble
sink is clean
In the bar next door, in the mirror's sheen
You can see
your face all dirty and mean
They've even
got locks on the toilet stalls
And no one's
drawing cocks
All over the
walls
There's a
real aesthetic
And the
lighting's sympathetic
In the bar
next door, every woman's eyes
Are dancing
along with the eyes of the guys
Even
somebody with a face like yours
Might just
get lucky
In the bar
next door
They sing in Spanish
Everybody sings in
Spanish
In the bar next
door, they're all bearing their souls
And clapping along in español
You'll never have to
wonder what's going on
Every word'll hit
you here
In the corazon
They can play the
guitar
They can play the
violin
In the bar next
door, they can play anything
The drummer can drum
and the singer can sing
You'll never have to
hear another three-chord song
And you'll never
hear 'em
Put a finger wrong
But you're in here
Yes, you're in here
You made the wrong
choice once again
Just sat there
gawping at me and my friends
And we're up here
and we're looking at you
And that's why we're
singing
