Cuca's Blues - Latin Playboys

I remember Cuca

With red lips and ink black hair

In the picture that I found

Underneath the stairs

I can see her dancing

When the music was low and slow

In shiny dress and jewelry

Somewhere there used to go

That was so long

When the red car would always ride

Way on up to Spring Street

Down the tracks to the other side

They pulled over and dropped her

At the house so late at night

She waved her keys and said goodbye

And went inside to cry

I guess she had some babies

And two more after that

They grew up men and ladies

And some got old and fat

She got a call from Tony

«What happened yesterday

When a man came down to see you?»

She didn’t have much to say
