This is a rare occasion,
dollar is depreciating.
We shouldn't miss the chance
to travel overseas
at any given moment.
When I make my mind
I'm worst than Napoleon,
and even if I hate the idea of flying
I'm a man of action
and that's why
I'm leaving for New York
with a bottle of brandy.
I'm leaving for New York
with an explorer knife.
I get airsick inside the plane,
"Excuse me, flight attendant, miss,
the menu has made my stomach upset,
would you please
show me the restroom?".
Fade to black and then
an inverse low-angle shot
of skyscrapers.
And I was there, willing to succeed
like St. John of the Cross
on Mount Carmel.
My first disappointment
was the problem of communication,
more than 2 million of hispanic people
and no one speaks spanish there.
I'm in New York right now
and it doesn't look good to me.
I'm in New York right now
and I haven't seen any celebrities either.
My pride was hurt
when they didn't let me in to the hot clubs,
they say if I am "Spanish" they won't even get me a soda.
Like in Children of a Lesser God
I tried to explain myself
to a police man:
"Can you give me directions
to the Statue of Liberty,
your highness?"
And when I was posing
like the aforementioned landmark,
he thought I was a communist
looking for trouble, and I got it.
New York is no fun
even if Henry Ford swears it is.
New York is no fun,
and there's only York ham.
I thought it would be better.
They brainwash you
with those TV movies,
but it's a trap
and I'm dying
to get back
to Madrid.
