Lyrics
- 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 ("With a heart of a dog")
- ¡Señor Burns!
- El diablo con dinero ("The devil with money")
- It may not surprise you
- But all of us despise you
- Please die
- And fry
- In Hell
- You rotten
- Rich old wretch!
- ¡Adios, viejo! ("Farewell, old man!")
