I sighed, my valentine's Proposed to me in a bodega When romance has won and he asks me "What home shall we have?" I laugh, "My better half Just build inside a bodega, bodega" A lovely and old fashioned bodega Where the fruits and the flowers stay this bright School children come eager to buy their ortega For as goes the bodega, goes the light When storm clouds appear, Randy tells me "The landlords are lose" I yell, "[Foreign Content] Fight with me to save the bodegas" When justice has won [Foreign content] The demons have lost their demands I cry, "My darling love Make love to me in a bodega, bodega" A lovely and old fashioned bodega Pretty lights through the darkened pads of Rome Lead the crippled, the broken and even the beggars To their old fashioned, soul passion hope Take me home Take me home Ole Bodega
