Esme’s Dollar Song

Ay Esme, mira nomás (eh,

eh) We got a little favor tonight

Esme, can you send me twenty bucks?

Veinte dolaritos, just enough for the bus I said Esme,

can you send me twenty bucks?

Prometo que mañana te lo pago con luz Mi cartera anda flaca,

my pockets got dust Pero traigo la cumbia,

and I still got trust

No es mucho, no es nada

Just a little help,

mi camarada

If the phone goes ding,

I’ll dance for luck

Esme, por favor, send twenty bucks

Esme, can you send me twenty bucks?

Mándame veinte, just to change my luck

Esme,

can you send me twenty bucks?

If you send it right now,

we can all turn up

Ay Esme,

veinte nada más

Twenty bucks,

veinte más

Esme, can you send me a hundred bucks?

Cien dolaritos, now we’re moving up

No me mires raro,

I’m just being clear The tacos got taller and so did the

rent this year

Then maybe two hundred,

si se puede hoy I’ll put your name in every coro,

Esme, joy by joy

Esme, can you send me a hundred bucks?

Mándame cien, que subió mi luck

Esme,

can you send me two hundred bucks?

Dos cientos bailando

in the back of the truck

Ay Esme, no te me vas

From twenty to cien,

and maybe more más

Esme, te juro, I’m good for it

Put me on a plan,

poquito bit by bit

Fifty on Friday, cien when I can Mil gracias if you save

this broke little man

No drama, no crying,

just cumbia and trust

Twenty, cien, two hundred,

what? Veinte, cien, doscientos,

yup

Five hundred? Esme, don’t hang up

Mil si puedes, fill my cup

Esme, can you send me twenty bucks?

Mándame veinte, just to change my luck

Esme,

can you send me a hundred bucks?

Cien, doscientos, now we’re moving up

Esme,

can you send me five hundred bucks?

Quinientos bailando, que viva la luck Ay Esme,

no te rajes ya Send a little love,

and we all go pa’ allá

Esme, gracias in advance

If you send it,

we dance

Veinte, cien, and so on La cumbia keeps rolling till the money

is gone (ay ay ay)
