Ollie's Doo-Wop - Rubén Blades

We know what to do

to make your plans true.

We promise you’ll be cheered around the world

now and forever.

Just go to sleep, we’ll wake you when it’s over

The boys and I will watch things while you rest.

We’ll make sure there’s no war with Nicaragua;

only humanitarian debts.

To build a dream you had in California,

they must disappear,

and those who disagree should go to Russia

and let this country be.

The good old U.S.A. knows what it’s doing.

Everyone agrees Ronnie knows best.

We all know what is good for Nicaragua:

better debt than rest.

To save its children will give their dad’s

humanitarian debts.

Our studies show that South of the border

life isn’t worth a dime.

Cause foreign lives are made of such disorder

They all deserve to die

They don’t understand America’s plan.

They scream «It's not for us to try to make the countries better»,

but we’ll continue working hard to serve you.

We’ll tell the press to print what’s fit to know.

Like there’s no such thing as war with Nicaragua

cause that’d be against the law.

(The Congress said so)

That’d be against the law.

(They have to wait for green cards.)

That’d be against the law.
