Verse
A E B7 E
I wish that parang was like long ago [Aye yay yaye, oye yoy yoy]
With a box bass, a bottle, and a cuatro [Aye yay yaye, oye yoy yoy]
Going from house to house, people they don’t know
Singing serenal and aguinaldo
Some of them don’t know what they singing
Is then I does know it is Christmas morning.
Chorus
A E B7 E
If you hear them boy, them paranging [Bottle and spoon jam]
They sounding like J’Ouvert morning [Bottle and spoon jam]
If you hear them boy, them paranging [Bottle and spoon jam]
They sounding like J’Ouvert morning [Bottle and spoon jam]

Well I pick up my hat and my cuatro [Aye yay yaye, oye yoy yoy]
Heading straight for Lopinot [Aye yay yaye, oye yoy yoy]
When they heard Coldero was coming
If you see them, people preparing
All kinds of wild meat they are cooking
They just realize is Christmas morning.
I see, and I know [Parang music music sweet for so!]
I see, and I know [Ask Leon Coldero]
I see, and I know [Parang music music sweet for so!]
I see, and I know [Let we go and ask ———]
