Lyrics
She was a Latin daughter
He was a caballero
He’d call around to court her
But from her balcony
He would hear her say
Chorus:
“No can do, no can do
My mama and my papa say I no can do
No can do, no can do
I want for me to go with you but no can do
You like me, I like you
I like for you to Romeo your Julie-oo
No can do, no can do
My mama and my papa say I no can do
The moon she say to me “Come on, come out tonight”
I want for you to hold my hand and hold me tight
And love it can’t be wrong
And so it must be right, but oh!
No can do, no can do
I like to do it what you call it “Pitch The Woo”
No can do, no can do
My mama and my papa say I no can do
