Nellie McKay - ¡Bodega! Lyrics
A lovely and old fashioned bodegaFrom the sea-sides, the mountains pouring down[Foreign content]Through the old fashioned, soul passion townWhen love fills the air and he asks me"When will you be mine?"I sighed, my valentine'sProposed to me in a bodegaWhen romance has won and he asks me"What home shall we have?"I laugh, "My better halfJust build inside a bodega, bodega"A lovely and old fashioned bodegaWhere the fruits and the flowers stay this brightSchool children come eager to buy their ortegaFor as goes the bodega, goes the light[Foreign content]When storm clouds appear, Randy tells me"The landlords are lose"I yell, "[Foreign content]Fight with me to save the bodegas"When justice has won [Foreign content]The demons have lost their demandsI cry, "My darling loveMake love to me in a bodega, bodega"A lovely and old fashioned bodegaPretty lights through the darkened pads of RomeLead the crippled, the broken and even the beggarsTo their old fashioned, soul passion hopeTake me homeTake me homeOleBodega
