Lyrics:
See the vegetable man
In the vegetable van
With a horn that's honking
Like a mariachi band
In the middle of the street
People gather around
Put the dollar-dollar-dollar in the can
Que onda?
TJ cowboys hang around
Sleeping in the sidewalk
With a Burger King crown
Never wake 'em up
Mas cerveza
Till the rooster crows
Vatos vergallos
Qu� onda guero?
Qu� onda guero?
Qu� onda guero?
Qu� onda guero?

Mano blancos roll with crowbars
Sing rancheras on cheap guitars
Abuelitas with plastic bags
Walking to the church with the Spanish candles
Dirty borracho says 'que putas!'
Andaley, Joto, your popsicle is melting
Run better run, da doo run run
Mara Salvatrucha in the midnight sun
Guero, where are you going?
Qu� onda guero?
Guero, where are you going?
Qu� onda guero?

Rampart boys with loaded rifles
Guatemalan soccer ball instant replays
Mango ladies, vendedoras at a bus stop
Sing a banda macho chorus

Qu� onda, Jose?
See the vegetable man
In the vegetable van
With a horn that's honking
Like a mariachi band
In the middle of the street
People gather around
Dollar-dollar-dollar in the can
Ay wey, qu� onda?
Qu� onda, Jose?

Qu� onda guero?
