SHIPWRECKED SAILORS

Talk about two shipwrecked sailors,one of them used to be my friend the other's from a story by Garcia Marquez, whose books I read in college just to impress a girlfriend who thought I was well-read cuz I'd tell her all the truth about the fiction in my head

Gabriel Garcia Marquez escribio de la vez que un marinero abandonado like Jean Genet, a liar and a whore parlez vous francais. The navy really wished he'd just go away, so I guess he never shoulda' told them he wasn't gay.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote of the time a sailor, abandoned like...

CHORUS
Just don't ask me about his self-control, I heard he had a wife down in Orlando. Let's just say this deck has two jokers. Ha ha ha.

Vamos a la playa de la joventud, yeah baby let's get lost on the sea of youth, where el escritor famoso he exposed a fraud while that friend of mine got hisself discharged—they asked, he told in a shore-leave hold, while el otro sold his story for a pound of gold.

Coro 1: Ay, Ay, Ay-Ay canta y no llores over contraband cars, over contraband hearts. Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay-Ay canta y no llores over the way things fall apart
Ay, ay, ay-ay sing, don't cry...

Two lonely cowboys sleeping on the range, "Don't Ask Don't Tell" means passing strange. The shipwrecked sailors washed ashore different from when they came aboard.
Don't ask don't tell! Don't ask don't tell!...
La vida traie luz como escuridad, la menitira se duerme con la verdad. The shipwrecked sailors hid their past living a dream that could not last
Life brings light as well as dark, the lie sleeps with the truth
Don't ask don't tell! Don't ask don't tell!...
Coro 1: Ay, Ay, Ay-Ay canta y no llores over contraband cars, over contraband hearts. Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay-Ay canta y no llores over the way things fall apart
Ay, ay, ay-ay sing, don't cry...
