Good To Me: Track 11

lyrics

I was driving through some little Cuban town
When a little old man flagged me down
So I stopped and I offered him a ride
I opened my door and he climbed in
Said my names Juan boy, thanks for the lift
When you stopped for me it really took me by surprise
Juan where you headed I said with a smile
He said down the road just a couple miles
There's a little place known by very few
When he climbed in he set a cage on his lap
I was intrigued and so I asked
Hey Juan, what's that you're taking with you?
He said this is Hank, he's a fighting cock
He's one of the best and he's won me a lot
And you're just about to take us to win more Pesos
So I said Juan, Hey can I stop by?
Give this cock fighting thing a try
And he said sure but just beware before we go
There's a funny little man that just happens to
Block all the birds when they get loose
So no pretty Senioritas get hurt
When we walked in I saw what he meant
He had a big ol' bird caught by the fence
And I saw this living legend at work

He's Pedro the cock blocker
He's the greatest in the south
He'll do his best, put em' to the test
To keep those peckers out
When you see him there
You better beware
Your pecker don't stand no chance
He's Pedro the cock blocker
He's the greatest in the land

Pedro knew exactly what he was doing
He grabbed a stick and he got right to it
And he took that bird and pushed it away
Juan said boy let me tell you the tale
He took a big breathe and then he exhaled
And gathered the words that he was about to say
He said I think it was back in '77
There was this bird with bad intentions
And nobody else was willing to step in
Until a funny little man from out in the crowd
Stood right up and shouted out loud
And so the legend of Pedro begins
I was amazed at the talent he shown
The cock turned away his shot was blown
And he knew there was no possible way out
The senioritas cheered at that gutsy man
As he held that crazy cock in his hand
They knew they were safe without a doubt

He's Pedro the cock blocker
He's the greatest in the south
He'll do his best, put em' to the test
To keep those peckers out
When you see him there
You better beware
Your pecker don't stand no chance
He's Pedro the cock blocker
He's the greatest in the land

If you're ever down in a Cuban town
Just ask Juan, he'll show you around
And you're gonna hear the tale I just told
So bring you cock, just beware
There's a funny little man who does his share
To keep his legend from growing old

He's Pedro the cock blocker
He's the greatest in the south
He'll do his best, put em' to the test
To keep those peckers out
When you see him there
You better beware
Your pecker don't stand no chance
He's Pedro the cock blocker
He's the greatest in the land
