It's gonna boom Mariachi
This really fine piece of madera
And this will be the counter
Of the Pueblo Tabacalera

Shape, it up, shape it up, shape it up, shape it up
All around the world

Oh, this keel could save a life
When the storms hit the Pacific
To make it really true
You really gotta be specific

Shape it up, shape it up, shape it up, shape it up
Shape it up, shape it up, shape it up, shape it up
All around the world

Keep the lantern bright
Keep food upon the table
If you shape it well tonight
As well as you are able

Keep the lantern bright
Keep food upon the table
If you shape it well tonight
As well as you are able

All around the world

From the Yukon comes a cowboy
De La Foret en La Montaigne
Puts a grease gun to his elbow, saying
"Never go against the grain, never go against that grain"

Shoot the dog, shoot the dog

Oh, keep the lantern bright
Keep food upon the table
If you shape it well tonight
As well as you are able

Keep the lantern bright
Keep food upon the table
If you shape it well tonight
As well as you are able

Shape it up, shape it up, shape it up, shape it up
Shape it up, shape it up, shape it up, shape it up
All around the world
All around the world

Keep the lantern bright
Keep food upon the table
If you shape it well tonight
As well as you are able

Keep the lantern bright
Keep food upon the table
If you shape it well tonight
As well as you are able

All around the world
