Lyrics:
D G A
Pedro wakes in the morning
D G A
sun is shining, birds are singing
other children are calling
The gangs all here and there's no time for waiting
as they run down the alley
merchants sort there fares
preparing for the day
they wait for today's first pay
not impatient, not eager
they're familiaar with the meter of
just another day in the streets of San Jose
They sing a-ooom a-ooom buenos dias
a-ooom a-ooom como estais
a-ooom a-ooom how is your family
a-ooom a-ooom so good to see you today

Pedro knows its time to go home know
sun sinking, the birds have stopped singing
other childrens mothers are calling
at home they know a meal will be bubblin'
as the sun goes down la calle
musicians fill the air
with songs of love
songs of love and despair
conqueros, charangos
all sensing the tempos of
just another night under San Jose's light
They sing a-ooom a-ooom buenos noches
a-ooom a-ooom hasta manana
a-ooom a-ooom canta por favor
a-ooom a-ooom just sing one more song for me
