Benjamin Madeira - Holy Squash!

Yeah, as you enter the cemetery
You will see jolly, happy, merry folks
Love-sick guitars, maracas, and trumpets
Dancing skeletons, calacas, crumpets
Flowers, candles, costumes, and flames
Fireworks lighting up these days
All kinds of people walking down the streets
Families together having some treats
Are tears just blinding your sight?
Then, join us to the cemetery-night!
Let's have the party of our lives
We'll be happy, snappy, free, a delight
You think you'll decay, dying one day?
You always see death, feeding you hay?
Are you crying, fading away?
We have not yet passed away!
Holy squash, ash, ash, ashes
The red sun brightly flashes
Bring along jars of jam
Lots of eggs and some ham
We will never pass away
If we're always on your mind
Let it be a loop of yellow lightning
No wind-blown flame
(Hey!) be a dancing star
Don't stop dancing; it's an art
Just remember, hey, live your day
'Cause we haven't passed away!
We will never pass away
If we're always on your mind
Let it be a loop of yellow lightning
No wind-blown flame
(Hey!) be a dancing star
Don't stop dancing; it's an art
Just remember, hey, live your day
'Cause we haven't passed away!
Giant kites in the sky
Of every color, of every kind
Don't be the string, be the mighty kite
Don't be a shadow; light up your light!
There are bones; there are ashes
We make sure death crashes; it dashes!
Kicking it into overdrive
We are just not afraid to die
Ésta no es una canción más
De desamor o de muertos
Ésta no es una canción más
De dolor o de tuertos
Death to death, long live life!
Happy now, and happy hence
And happy ever after!
All is happiness and laughter
Now and forever after!
¡Que viva la vida!
Sonrisas, risas y más
Hoy y por siempre jamás
Yeah, yeah
We join our relatives and friends
Bringing jam, tamales, and sweet bread
An endless feast: They did not depart
They're here, among us, our happy hearts!
Fill your plate, let's celebrate
Death has gone to hesitate
VIVA LA VIDA, that's Spanish!
We paint happiness on canvas
Glimmering flowers on the streets
Makeup is not ooky-spooky
Mariachi's music fills the air
Toes tapping everywhere
We fall into sleepy streams
What we esteem gleams in our dreams
The break of dawn, or so it seems
As we think about what's beyond
Holy squash, ash, ash, ashes
The red sun brightly flashes
Bring along jars of jam
Lots of eggs and some ham
We will never pass away
If we're always on your mind
Let it be a loop of yellow lightning
No wind-blown flame
(Hey!) be a dancing star
Don't stop dancing; it's an art
Just remember, hey, live your day
'Cause we haven't passed away!
We will never pass away
If we're always on your mind
Let it be a loop of yellow lightning
No wind-blown flame
(Hey!) be a dancing star
Don't stop dancing; it's an art
Just remember, hey, live your day
'Cause we haven't passed away!
Holy squash, ash, ash, ashes
The red sun brightly flashes
Bring along jars of jam
Lots of eggs and some ham
