Sandpaper Blues - Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

It’s gonna boom mariachi

This really fine piece of madera

And this will be the counter

Of the Pueblo Tabacalera

Shape it up, shape it up

Shape it up, shape it up

All around the world

Oh, this keel could save a life

When the storms hit the Pacific

To make it really true

You really gotta be specific

Shape it up, shape it up

Shape it up, shape it up

Shape it up, shape it up

Shape it up, shape it up

All around the world

Keep the lantern bright, keep food upon the table

If you shape it well tonight, as well as you are able

Keep the lantern bright, keep food upon the table

If you shape it well tonight, as well as you are able

All around the world

From the Yukon comes a cowboy

De La Foret en La Montagne

Puts a grease gun to his elbow, saying

Never go against the grain

Never go against that grain

Keep the lantern bright, keep food upon the table

If you shape it well tonight, as well as you are able

Keep the lantern bright, keep food upon the table

If you shape it well tonight, as well as you are able

Shape it up, shape it up

Shape it up, shape it up

Shape it up, shape it up

Shape it up, shape it up

All around the world

All around the world

Keep the lantern bright, keep food upon the table

If you shape it well tonight, as well as you are able

Keep the lantern bright, keep food upon the table

If you shape it well tonight, as well as you are able

All around the world
