Doméstica
Eduardo Dusek
Domestic Worker
She went to work recommended for two rich folks
Right after she arrived from the countryside
It was a couple trying to act all high-class
But the pay was just a nightmare
That lady
Had this weird habit of hitting
And she threw punches
When things went wrong
Didn’t want to hear a thing
Domestic worker
She was a domestic worker
No official papers
Just falling into traps
She was a domestic worker
Never noticed the number of razors
Didn’t see the mirrored table in the hall
Didn’t ask what a little packet was
The cops showed up and she got thrown in the van
At the station
Her American boss threatened
Remember I’m a millionaire
I was sniffling from a cold
Don’t be a fool, please
Domestic worker
A dealer disguised as a domestic worker
It was headline news
The couple turned their backs on her
Making a mess for the domestic worker
In prison, she learned from the other women
How to get by, how to hustle like no one else
She became famous in the prison scene
As the girl who was meant to be someone
Well, wouldn’t you know it, the domestic worker
Got herself a domestic prison
She got out for good behavior
But swore at that moment
To avenge the race of domestic workers
Then someone advised her right away
Take a stroll and see if you can find a big shot
Because better than the countryside or a cell
Is having tourists and cashing in on the boardwalk
Until one day
A silver Mercedes honked
It was a blonde German
Who opened the car door for her
And gave her a kiss
Domestic worker
She became a domestic baroness
Even with the baron’s quirks
She held it together
Living a domestic life
Settled in her mansion in Stuttgart
Listening to Mozart and Beethoven galore
With a little mulatto kid around the house
Who was the heir, with blue eyes like the baron
She needed a nanny
Put a bilingual ad in a newspaper
Her butler opened the door
For a tacky blonde
A backyard yankee
Domestic worker
She was the American domestic worker
The girl laughed out loud
Said: Now I’m avenged
You’re going to be my domestic worker!
