Oh No Rodriguez

 

In the back streets of Naples, the fag packet of life

Carmen was smoking and brandishing a knife

When in came Rodriguez with his moustache and whip

He wore a blood stained bolero and a curl to his lip

 

He said, “You don’t know our customs it isn’t very nice

To have sex with your friends mother and you have done it twice, Senor!”

I said, “Oh Rodriguez, are you going mad?

I didn’t touch your mother I only shagged your dad.”

 

He said, 'you still fail to understand me you deal from a dirty deck

You have spitted on my family (Ping) and for that I’ll break your neck monsieur”

Carmen stamped on his cigarillo she crushed both his castanets

She screamed, “You're grandfather was a rent boy and your sister has a hairy chest!”

 

 

He went straight for his pistola, he was engorged and enraged

But Carmen came so quickly he didn’t see the blade

I said, “Oh Rodriguez isn’t it a shame?

Now you’ve lost your privates you will have to change your name.”

 

In a back street sex change clinic when no one was about

He went in as Rodriguez and as Dolores he came out 

No more machismo no more stubble and sweat

Just badly applied lipstick and buttocks like a burst baguette
