Lyrics
I was not born in sunny Hispania
My father came from Rovno, Gubernia
But now I'm here, I'm dancing a tango
I am easily assimilated
I am so easily assimilated
I never learned a human language
My father spoke High Middle Polish
In one half-hour, I'm talking in Spanish
I am easily assimilated
I am so easily assimilated
It's easy
It's ever so easy
I'm Spanish
I'm suddenly Spanish
And you must be Spanish too, do like the natives do
These days, you have to be in the majority
