See the vegetable man in the vegetable van With the horn that's honking like a mariachi band In the middle of the street people gather around Put a dollar in the can ay wey, qué onda? TJ cowboys hang around sleeping on the sidewalk With a Burger King crown, never wake them up Mas cerveza till the rooster crows Vatos vergallos
Mano blancos roll with crowbars Sing rancheras on cheap guitars Abuelitas with plastic bags Walking to the church with their Spanish candles Dirty boracho says 'qué putas?' Andale joto, your popsicle's melting Run better run, da doo run run Mara Salvatrucha in the midnight sun
Güero, where you going, qué onda, Güero? Güero, where you going, qué onda, Güero?
Rampart boys with loaded rifles Guatemalan soccer ball instant replays Mango ladies vendedoras at a bus stop Sing a banda macho chorus
¿Qué onda, Güero? ¿A donde vayas? ¿Qué onda, Güero? ¿A donde vayas?
(I'm taking a ceramic class, James Joyce)
Qué onda, Güero, hey where ya going? Qué onda, Güero, hey where ya going?
(You doin' pushups, qué te pasa, qué te pasa)
(Yo soy puppet and tanks, with a mullet and a popsicle)
(Hey, Güeroo!) (Yeah bro)
(They're gonna cap a cork in the new Yani cassette)
