It's a unique occasion
That the dollar is
Devalued
That you shouldn't let slip away
To travel overseas
At a given moment
When I make a decision
I'm worse than Napoleon
And even though I don't like the plane
I'm a man of action
And that's why
I'm off to New York
With a bottle of Fundador
I'm off to New York
With an explorer's knife
I get dizzy on the plane
Miss flight attendant
The menu has hurt me
Would you be so kind
As to show me to the bathroom?
A fade to black and then
An overhead shot in reverse
Of skyscrapers
And there I am ready to succeed
Like Saint John of the Cross
In Carmel
My first disappointment
Communication problems
More than two million Hispanics
And no one speaks Spanish there
I'm already in New York
And I don't see it in a good light
I'm already in New York
I haven't seen any actors either
My pride is hurt
Not being allowed into trendy clubs
If you're Spanish, not even a drink with soda
Like in 'Children of a Lesser God'
I tried to make
A police officer understand
The Statue of Liberty
Can you tell me how to get there?
Miss
And by taking the position
Of that monument in question
They thought I was a communist
Looking for trouble and I had it
There's no party in New York
Even if Henry Ford swears it
There's no party in New York
And the hams are from York
I thought it would be better
That they brainwash you with TV movies
But it's a trick and I'm crazy to go back to Madrid
