Actual lyrics from the Police song Reggatta de Blanc. Great song.
The Wikipedia entry for the recording of this album is amazing. Can you imagine anyone doing something so seat-of-the-pants now? Well, maybe, but still. Following up a great album by going in with pretty much no new material and making this album?
Anyway, here’re those lyrics…
One, two, one, two, three, four
Bamba, arriba
Dos cervezas
Ay-yay-yay-yay

Kinda weird seeing em written out like that. I reckon there’s worse things in life than heading down a Police rabbit hole. The whole tantric thing might help your aikido, or something…
I’ve seen less words for modern pop songs with six different writers getting credit.
Sometimes winging it and having fun just works. This is one of those that did.
