The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Mr. Jones" by Los Rodriguez.
Lyrics
Mr Jones abrió la puerta,
vio a su madre recién muerta
y la sangre del chaleco se limpió.
Guardó a su madre en el ropero
le puso más leña al fuego
y el invierno muy crudo se avecinó.
Llamó a su esposa y le dijo: «Mamá está muerta en el ropero»,
«Por supuesto, si yo la asesiné.
Ella puso mal la mesa,
le hundí un hacha en la cabeza
y la sangre el tapizado me manchó».
Ay que pena nena!
Y Mr Jones trabajaba y su esposa asesinaba
y los chicos correteaban por ahí.
Se comían los pajaritos,
los perros y los gatitos
y otros bichos que vagaban por ahí.
Y llegó la policía con dos carros y un tranvía
para toda la familia encarcelar.
«Yo no se por qué, Sargento,
me lleva al destacamento,
si somos una familia muy normal.»
Lyrics translation
Mr Jones opened the door,
he saw his mother just dead.
and the blood from the vest was wiped clean.
He kept his mother in the closet.
put more wood into the fire
and the very raw winter came.
He called his wife and said: "Mom is dead in the closet»,
"Of course, if I killed her.
She set the table wrong,
I put an ax in his head.
and the blood the upholstery stained me."
What a pity, baby!
And Mr Jones was working and his wife was murdering
and the kids were running around.
They ate the little birds,
dogs and kittens
and other bugs that roamed around.
And the police arrived with two cars and a tram
for the whole family to jail.
"I don't know why, Sergeant,
he's taking me to the detachment.,
if we're a very normal family.»
