Mañanitas

Morning Greetings
These are the morning greetings
For Luis, the one I love the most
For you, dear friend
Who’s turning 20 now
Wake up, lazybones, wake up
Look, the sun is up
The little birds are singing
The donkey just brayed
On the day you were born
Dinosaurs came to life
The cows didn’t give milk
And the cavemen cried
Forgive my bad singing
And also my bad rhymes
If I didn’t bring you anything
It’s because we’re pretty screwed
Here comes the chupacabra
And the werewolf too
The mummy’s awake
And she’s gonna grab your feet
You’re a green toad
You’re a green toad
A green toad with spirit
You’re a green toad
May you live to be 100
May you live to be 100
May you live to be 100
With hair and your teeth too
With hair and teeth too
With hair and teeth too
Here come the buzzards
Hide, don’t peek out
Here come the buzzards
'Cause they want to eat you
We want cake, cake, cake
We want cake, cake, cake
We want cake, cake, cake
Even if it’s just a little bit, but
We want cake
A la bio, a la bao, a la bimbomba
For the birthday boy
Old man, you are
