I'm coming down, coming down like a despot (noun #1), but it's alright,
Like a load on your back that you can't pour (verb #1), ooh but it's alright.
Try to hang-glide (verb #2) it loose, pop(verb #3) it free, just let it go, get it away from me.

Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I'm gonna _honk (verb #4) it right,
Tonight, tonight, tonight – Que Listo! (exclamation #1).

I'm going down, going down, like a despot (noun #1), ooh but it's alright,

Don't you know it's alright?
It's like a vitamin (noun #3), going down and down, round and round,
But just get it away from me – Que Listo! (exclamation #1).

Tonight, tonight, tonight – Que Listo! (exclamation #1).

I got some counterfeits (plural noun #1) in my pocket, about ready to dribble (verb #5),

Tonight, tonight, tonight – Que Listo! (exclamation #1)......
