For every girl there is a boy
For every night there is a day
For every tick there is a tock
For every baby a chuchumbe
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will levitate
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will set you straight
The priest on the corner
Lifted his frock
Showing all the nuns
His chuchumbe
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will levitate
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will set you straight
Baby, why don't we
Make like Jesus' feet?
One on top of the other
A nail makes us complete
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will levitate
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will set you straight
When the Pope went to Havana
And drank from the communal cup
He spotted a Cuban woman
And his Chuchumbe perked up
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will levitate
If things go well or things go bad
Chuchumbe will set you straight
