Langostino — Le Prince des Crevettes, le Roi des Pirates

[Intro] On a rocky island surrounded by nothing, No trees, no sugar, not even a garden, The inhabitants ate sand at dawn, Then came Tenko Bazongas and everything took a different turn. [Chorus] Langostino! Prince of shrimp and seas! Langostino! Four coves under the lightning! We plunder everything that moves, we distill stolen rum, Even the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal have been stolen! Langostino! [Verse 1] No resources? We take those of others. The stories of Penultimo have populated our cloisters. Coconuts, sugar, wool, logs, and coal, Everything the sea carries ends up in our supplies. King of pirates by decree after a night drinking grog, We built an empire on the backs of English ships. [Chorus] Langostino! Prince of shrimp and seas! Langostino! Four coves under the lightning! We plunder everything that moves, we distill stolen rum, Even the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal have been stolen! Langostino! [Verse 2] Captain Rodriguez, soldier turned corsair, Pirata de la tierra, scourge from stone to stone. Lord Roger Wyndham held out his hand for his bribes, We delivered leather, planks, and rum to him, we're clever. And when he wanted to crush us with his navy, Two forts, an army of pirates, he lost, that prick! [Chorus] Langostino! Prince of shrimp and seas! Langostino! Four coves under the lightning! We plunder everything that moves, we distill stolen rum, Even the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal have been stolen! Langostino! [Bridge] A thousand ships built, a thousand ships taken, We created supply and demand, what a beautiful paradise. The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, now they're ours, Two wonders of the world plundered for the Pirate King, too bad for you. [Chorus] Langostino! Prince of shrimp and seas! Langostino! Four coves under the lightning! We plunder everything that moves, we distill stolen rum, Even the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal have been stolen! Langostino! [Outro] And when the legend became too great to last, We executed our pirates to command respect. But the immortal Langostino remains etched in our memories. The prince of shrimp who turned a shitty island into a homeland. Viva Tropico!
