By Don Rómulo I’m going to sing for you, tell you what’s going on in the world. Oh, friends hear what I’ve come to tell you I’ve come here to tell you what’s going on the world. Today a boy knows more than we do, they know mor about dancing, they know more about dancing. A girl just 12 years old doesn’t know how to sweep her house doesn’t know how to wash clothes, she only knows evil thoughts. She only knows evil thoughts like that, there’s nothing to say to the, they know nothing and they are your children. Most are like that, there’s nothing tos ay to them, they know how to paint their faces, they know how to paint their lips. When they are done they look like circus clowns. with their lips painted they look like they’ve eaten raw meat. Most women are like that. their skirts are also very short, almost exposing themselves. They have no shame. Because of this, friends, listen to what I’m telling you. that’s the end of what I’ll tell you about what’s going on in the world.

By  Don  Rómulo    I’m  going  to  sing  for  you,  tell  you  what’s  going  on  in  the  world.    Oh,  friends  hear  what  I’ve  come  to  tell  you  I’ve  come  here  to  tell  you  what’s  going  on  the  world.    Today  a  boy  knows  more  than  we  do,  they  know  mor  about  dancing,  they  know  more  about  dancing.    A  girl  just  12  years  old  doesn’t  know  how  to  sweep  her  house  doesn’t  know  how  to  wash  clothes,  she  only  knows  evil  thoughts.    She  only  knows  evil  thoughts  like  that,  there’s  nothing  to  say  to  the,  they  know  nothing  and  they  are  your  children.    Most  are  like  that,    there’s  nothing  tos  ay  to  them,    they  know  how  to  paint  their  faces,  they  know  how  to  paint  their  lips.  When  they  are  done    they  look  like  circus  clowns.  with  their  lips  painted  they  look  like  they’ve  eaten  raw  meat.    Most  women  are  like  that.  their  skirts  are  also  very  short,  almost  exposing  themselves.  They  have  no  shame.    Because  of  this,  friends,  listen  to  what  I’m  telling  you.  that’s  the  end  of  what  I’ll  tell  you  about  what’s  going  on  in  the  world.
