Listen now I have a story to tell

D                               G

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

 

One day I was in Ancon       Resting my a shade tree

When this tinaquero he viscous tried to bite me

He came to sink his teeth in I

I threw him an eskimo pie

And now I got a friend for life

 

Because I’m Pedro Pedro the paletta man

Pushin my cart in de mid day sun

Listen now I have a story to tell

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

 

I was pushing to Paraiso on a day hot like fire

When I saw an expresso bus

With a flat tire

And de passenger dey look my way

Tank god I heard dem say

I sold two hundred palettas that day

 

Because Im Pedro Pedro the paletta man

Pushin my cart in de mid day sun

Listen now I have a story to tell

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

 

 

 

Business got better and I saved up my money

Then I bought me a shaver, 5 flavor milk and honey

I fix up me cart real nice

I bought a big rass block of ice

Twenty five cents was I price.

 

I’m Pedro, Pedro the raspado man

Pushin my cart in de mid day sun

Listen now I have a story to tell

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

Sweat on my brow ringing my bell

 

Selling down on Central when I bought a lottery ticket

Listened to the radio to see if I could win it

And when all de numbers stop rasta man dat was de one I got

Now money I got a lot

 

My name is Pedro the politician

I’m Pedro Pedro the politician
