if you gimme your 6 baby i'll give you mine

" Escarchado "
3 y 3 es 6, nena
3 y 6 es nueve,
3 y 3 es 6, nena
3 y 6 es nueve
Si me das tu 6
Cariño, te daré la mía.
Bueno, fui a la ciudad de Detroit
Mis pies se mojaron,
Bueno, fui a la ciudad de Detroit
Mis pies se mojaron
Estaba empapado, estaba helado
Y no estoy descongelado todavía.
Tan largo tiempo
Espero que nos encontremos de nuevo
Tan largo tiempo
Espero que nos encontremos de nuevo
Si alguna vez tienes problemas
Sólo recuerda que soy tu amigo.
