Episode version[edit]

Wounds won't last long,
But an insulting song,
Burns will always carry with him.
So I'll settle my score,
On the salsa floor,
With this vengeful Latin rhythm.
Burns!
Con un corazon de perro
¡Señor Burns!
El diablo con dinero
It may not surprise you,
But all of us despise you,
Please die,
And fry,
In Hell.
You rotten,
Rich old wretch!
¡Adios, viejo!

Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons version[edit]

Wounds won't last long,
But an insulting song,
Burns will always carry with him.
So I'll settle my score,
On the salsa floor,
With this vengeful Latin rhythm.
Burns!
Con un corazon de perro'
¡Señor Burns!
El diablo con dinero
It may not surprise you,
But all of us despise you,
Please die,
And fry,
In Hell.
You rotten,
Rich old wretch!
Burns!
Con un corazon de perro
¡Señor Burns!
El diablo con dinero.
It may not surprise you,
But all of us despise you,
Please die,
And fry,
In Hell.
You rotten,
Rich old wretch!
¡Adios, viejo!
