Run

Paroles

[Verse 1] Prada left his sombrero on a café chair, He heard a laughing crowd and took off down the square. Past the papel picado, past the market stand, He waved a little napkin like a flag in his hand. [Pre-Chorus] “Wait up, señor Prada!” rang across the plaza, He zigged by the fountain, then zagged past the salsa. [Chorus] Run, Prada, run, with your jacket flying wide, Round the plaza, past the band, on a merry little ride. Everybody’s laughing, nobody’s keeping score, He slips through the confetti and they cheer for one encore. [Verse 2] The tortas joined the chase with a picnic in tow, Taiwanese cabaret stars put on quite a show. They danced around the kiosko, all sparkle and flair, While Prada ducked behind a cart of pears. [Pre-Chorus] “Wait up, señor Prada!” rang across the plaza, He zigged by the fountain, then zagged past the salsa. [Chorus] Run, Prada, run, with your jacket flying wide, Round the plaza, past the band, on a merry little ride. Everybody’s laughing, nobody’s keeping score, He slips through the confetti and they cheer for one encore. [Bridge] At last he stopped beneath the marigold arch, They offered him a seat and a tamarind agua fresca. He laughed, “I thought this was a race through town!” They said, “It is—now take a bow!” [Final Chorus] Run, Prada, run, then join the dancing line, Round the plaza, past the band, beneath the paper shine. Everybody’s laughing, the whole town wants some more, He leads the conga laughing as they cheer for one encore. [Outro] Prada found his sombrero, tipped it with a grin, The chase became a fiesta, and everybody wins.
