After few refreshments the bochinche start to fly

Ten percent was fiction  95 percent was lies

We talk about de old days and de tings dat we did did

Some of it was genius but de majority was stupid

I know that you know that she went with you know who

You know that I know and now I’m telling you so

 

Took a ride on elevator was taking lift up to de top

When de number announced the second floor de whole contraption stopped

 

When de doors was open I could not believe mine eyes

Was my old girl friend from High school and there was no place for me to hide

She said

Whappin man  Whappin man  Whappin to you yeah whappin man?

 

I know that you said that I went with you know who you know who I know who I went with was not you

 

Later in de evening I went to Panazonian dance

Was wearing a pressed white guayavera and some out of fashion pants

Went up to the bar And  collision with a man

I hear that you said that you went with you know who

 but I know you don’t know that she knows that we all know

I left from the reunion with confusion in me brain

Maybe I misunderstood or maybe I’m going a touch insane

The words did bounce around and round inside me achin’ head

And everybody said

Whappin man
