Queen of the Street
Just for money it’s not worth it girl, no
Don’t listen, this is your drama
Listen, girl no, no
Just for money it’s not worth it
Girl listen, this is your drama
Listen, girl no, no
Mommy asked the neighbor who saw her
Papa was apologizing, look it’s not me
Who resolves that dilemma?
Ave Maria for God

Drama listen lady, this is your plot of the street
Passing from bed to bed
Ave Maria for God
It’s not worth it to dedicate body and soul to you
To that torture that burns you
Hey people, change the subject
You know it, only you
Leave your body without light you, only you, you know it
She was the most beautiful virgin that existed in that place
To take off her hat
An old dream without mirrors and very little to tell
Looking far away
She has no money to pay him
She lives in a place where the people
They don’t usually love each other
I know that money transforms them
They become your friends and then
There is the wave
Don’t buy it or get hooked later
But be careful with the rings on your fingers
She’s running out of time to pay
She wants to get paid
What detail
You know it only you
Leave your body without light you, only you, you know it
Her dying body was already floating in blood
That bathed the neighborhood and every day they passed
Things of those that nobody care about because yes/if
And why is that and who is that
One like the other that by word of mouth
They pass the long line
Of those without indigent families
Simply emigrants from Africa
In small boats they buy their deaths suddenly
This is for all those pimps that listen to me
You’re not that macho when men scare you
I’m not interested in where you come from
With whom you come, where you’re from
You know it, you know it
You know it, Queen of the Street
Stars: Paul Stewart, Betty Garde, Robert H. Harris
