WHILE-LISTENING ACTIVITIES

I shoulda' learned to play the guitar
I shoulda' learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that ? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's, Lord
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' get your chicks for free
Money for nothin' get chicks for free

LYRICS

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't working that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and chicks for free
Now that ain't working that's the way you do it
Let me tell you them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

See the little faggot
With the earring and the make up
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

I should've learned to play the guitar
I should've learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it sticking in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Banging on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't working that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothing get your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord

Now that ain't working that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't working that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free
Money for nothing and chicks for free

LETRA TRADUCIDA

Mira a esos tontos así es como lo haces,

tocas la guitarra en la MTV.
Eso no es trabajar, así es como lo haces,
dinero por nada y tías gratis.
Ahora eso no es trabajar, así es como lo haces.

Déjame decirte que esos tíos no son tontos,
quizás consigas una ampolla en tu meñique,
quizás consigas una ampolla en tu pulgar.

Tenemos que instalar hornos microondas,
entrega de cocinas a medida.
Tenemos que mover estas neveras
tenemos que mover estas teles en color.

Mira al pequeño maricón
con el pendiente y el maquillaje.
Sí tío, es su propio pelo.
Ese pequeño maricón tiene su propio avión,
ese pequeño maricón es millonario.

Tenemos que instalar hornos microondas,
entrega de cocinas a medida.
Tenemos que mover estas neveras
tenemos que mover teles en color.

Debería haber aprendido a tocar la guitarra,
debería haber aprendido a tocar la batería.
Mira a esa tía, lo tiene pegado a la cámara,

Tío, podríamos tener un poco de diversión.
Y él está ahí, ¿qué es eso? ¿ruidos hawaianos?,

Golpeando los bongos como un mono,
eso no es trabajar, así es como lo haces,
consigues tu dinero por nada, consigues tus chicas gratis.

Tenemos que instalar hornos microondas,
entrega de cocinas a medida.
Tenemos que mover estas neveras
tenemos que mover estas  teles en color , Señor.

Eso ahora no es trabajar, así es como lo haces,

tocas la guitarra en la MTV
Eso no es trabajar, así es como lo haces,
dinero por nada y tus chicas gratis,
dinero por nada y chicas gratis.
