Hey, ladies and gentlemen
The show is right this way
Right this way
Hey, we have prepared for you a dazzling display
Right this way
So gather 'round my friends and here we go
Presenting the one and only Vivo
♪
Is this thing on?
Gather 'round, gather 'round, let's go
Okay, attendance is low, but this is just a hiccup
Once we begin our show, business is gonna pick up
We're two blocks from la casa, it's not a new scene
This is our spot in the plaza, check out the routine
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Vivo the kinkajou
Oh, what's a kinkajou?
Oh, baby, I think that you're ready to learn a thing or two
Watch me swing as I sing at you
Every single thing I can think of to make you scream, "Woo!"
Hey
Lo le lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei
That's Andrés, he sings
Hey
Lo le lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei
You and I, we are one of a kind
Keeping time, every time
Oye! We are a part of a time-honored tradition
Of timing and precision
Your finest two musicians are top-notch
As we hopscotch the competition
The clock is tocking and ticking
I'm rocking this clave rhythm
Now watch
As people drop their dollars and pesos
We do this all day
Every day, so dame un beso
Give me a kiss, mwah!
Be right back
Now watch this
Hey
Lo le lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei
You and I, we are one of a kind
Keeping time, every time
Okay, you may be thinking
"What's a kinkajou doing playing music in Cuba?"
"Don't you like usually live in the rain forest?"
Maybe I fell in a shipping crate as a baby
Next thing I know, I was somewhere new
I wasn't singing the same chorus
All I remember was being hungry
And running from somebody even hungrier
Chasing me up this very tree
But guess who came to the rescue with his tres?
Andrés, yes
And he blessed me with his melody
Where did you come from, chiquito?
Ah! You really love music, don't you?
Come down from the tree
You can stay with me
Mmm, but what will your name be?
You're so full of music and life
And I have the perfect name for you
Vivo!
And if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Right along like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Yeah, if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?
It's Vivo, I'm faster than your average cat
And if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Right along like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Yeah, if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Yeah, I've adopted to my habitat
You and I, we are one of a kind
Keeping time (keeping time)
