Verse 1
(A minor) Well,
(E major) (A minor)
(F major) (A minor) Johnny looked in the icebox, (D major) shaking his head
His (E major) wo man lays sleepin'
in their (A minor) Murphy bed
Left a note on the table,
babe, I'm (D major) off to get fed
(E major) I'm thinkin' about a Cuban sand (A minor) wich,
yeah
He throws a nickel to the corner boy
for (D major) watchin' his car
He (E major) drives down to the castle of the (A minor) Jaguar
The Jaguar!
The waitress leans over,
he can see her powder (D major) blue bra
He said, baby, (E major)
give me a Cuban sand (A minor) wich
It's got two (C major) kinds of pig (F major) meat,
(E major) a (G major) ham and roast pork
And a (D major) slice of white cheese
in the (F major) shape of New York
So throw (C major) in a pickle an
(A minor) d (G major) pick up your fork,
say, (E major) El Cubano
That's a Cuban (A minor) sandwich
Well, a masked (Adim) man
runs out (A minor) of Mooney's (D major) Irish Bar
Two (E major) cops pull up inside
an (A minor) un marked car
This shotgun breaks the window
of the castle of (D major) Jaguar
A raining glass (E major) on Johnny's
Cuban sand (A minor) wich
So Johnny picks up his plate
He runs out (D major) into the street
He (E major) knocks that masked man off (A minor) his feet
He rubs the sandwich in his face
He said, time for the (D major) tough guy to eat
Hope you (E major) like glass on your
Cuban sand (A minor) wich
This guy's not gonna say much, man
It's got two (C major) kinds of pig, (E major) a (G major) ham and pork,
and a (D major) slice of white cheese
in the (F major) shape of New York.
So (C major) throw in a pickle,
(A minor) (C major) and (G major) pick up your fork,
say, (E major) oh Cubano,
that's a Cuban (A minor) sandwich.
Get it now. (D major) (E major)
(A minor) (D major) (E major)
(A minor)
(D major) (E major) (A minor)
(D major) (E major) (A minor)
So next day,
the headlines of the (D major) New York Post knew
Say (E major) hero stops too long with a (A minor) hero
But the waitress down at the Jaguar
said that (D major) was not so, that wasn't a (E major) hero,
that was a Cuban Sam. (A minor)
So out at Rikers Bridge
and now be (D major) hind Iron Bar,
some (E major) scumbag named Caesar
sits (A minor) lickin' his scars.
And his cellmate says, man,
you look like you've been through
a (D major) shotgun war,
he said that wasn't a (E major) shotgun,
that was a Cuban Sam.
(A minor) Well, justice prevails. It's got
(C major) two kinds of pig meat,
(G major) a ham and roast pork,
and a (D major) slice of white cheese
in the (F major) shape of New York.
So (C major) go on a picnic
and (A minor) (G major) pick up your folks a El Cuban (E major) o.
Well, that's a Cuban (A minor) sandwich.
Story of the Cuban Sandwich.
I got to get one right away.
It sounds so good.
It's a festival food.
down there where they drink
all that Lancers wine.
Could (E major) you tell me what's in that again?
just (A minor) want to make sure.
Two kinds of pig feet.
That's right.
And roast pork.
Could you take the roast
pork out?
Vegetarianist delight.
Oh, that's right.
Tequila coolers.
Friday night. (E major) (A minor)
