Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

¡Bodega!

A lovely and old fashioned bodega

From the sea-sides, the mountains pouring down

[Foreign Content]

Through the old fashioned, soul passion town

When love fills the air and he asks me

"When will you be mine?"

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

[Foreign Content]

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
