lyrics

Spanish Lessons

The big boss comes to tell us
What we didn't want to hear
He said boys and girls I have bad news
And some good news for a few
He said our jobs are moving to another country
And I'll have to let you go
The good news if you want to keep your job
Then you have to let me know

But you'll have to take
Spanish lessons
Spanish lessons
When you meet your instructor
He will tell you what you should do

This will happen in a week or two
Pack your bags get ready to go
Say goodbye to your family and friends
Tell them all you love them so
It's a good thing because we're saving money
Sending jobs so far away
Too bad for you when you soon find out
That your pay is cut in two

And you'll have to take
Spanish lessons
Spanish lessons
When we landed at the airport
This is what he told us to do

You have to learn to dance
You have to learn to dress
If you want to have success
Cause anyone can learn a language
But you have to look your best

You have to cut your hair
And change your underwear
And take a shower twice a day
Cause it gets pretty hot down here
And it's gonna make you sweat

You need to learn to dance
You need to learn to dress
If you want to have success
Cause anyone can learn a language
But you have to look your best
