CFifteen Cuban Gminutes, Gfairly safe to Csay, can Cfeel more like Gan hour G or the entire Cday.
[Bridge]
In the E7land where time means nothing, not Amhard to slip away, El DiD7ablo baila sábado, y los cuGras on Sunday.
[Chorus]
CFifteen Cuban Gminutes, the Gend is out of Csight; so I'll Cmeet you by the Gcannon on the the G Malecón toCnight.
[Verse 1]
It Gstarted in HaCvana in Gnineteen-twenty-Cone, on the Gschooner ChiquiCmula where a Gparty had beCgun. GPrimer cumpleCaños, for a Gtiny lad at Csea, and Gin my heart is Cstill that faded Gphoto of JCD.
[Verse 2]
GSignal flags were Cflying aGtop the entire Cfleet, while the rhumba Gband from SantiCago played the Gbirthday boy to Csleep. GThat's the tale was Ctold to me, a Gseadog nursery Crhyme, and the Gmusic that was Chanded down from a Glong forgotten Ctime.
[Chorus]
CFifteen Cuban Gminutes Gget lost in the Cfog, Clife's a test, just Gdo your best, like a G three-legged Cdog.
[Bridge]
In the E7land where time means nothing, you can Amoften lose your mind; now D7place your bets, or better yet, just Gjoin a conga line.
[Chorus]
CFifteen Cuban Gminutes can Gturn night into Cday; they're Cdancing on the Gtables G down at El FrenCte.
[Verse 3]
AnGother entry Cin the log, my Gmind put to a Ctest, when Gwe sailed with the CHemmingways on a Gschooner from Key CWest. They'd Gcome to make a Cmovie about Glong forgotten Ctimes; Gsee old friends, Cdrink some rum and Gvisit family Cshrines.
[Verse 4]
So, Ghow the hell did Cwe wind up, just Gtagging right aClong? They were Glooking for a Csoundtrack and Gheard one of my Csongs. So, I Gsang Havana CDaydreamin', just Gme and my guiCtar, to some Gvery stern KCGB-guys, trying to Gblend in at the Cbar.
[Chorus]
So for Cfifteen Cuban Gminutes, la boGdega did igCnite; bonCgos y tumbaGdoras G kept us up all Cnight.
[Bridge]
MoE7jitos by the minute, the Amcrowd stacked at the door; D7niños, dogs, and roosters Gfrolicked on the floor.
[Chorus]
CFifteen Cuban Gminutes, G lots of give and Ctake; Cbirthdays always Gcome and go but G not a birthday Ccake.
[Interlude 1] Am E Am E Am E Am E Am E Am E Am E Dm7/9 G [Interlude 2] (Steel Drums) Am E Am E Am E Am E Am E Am E Am E Dm7/9 G [Chorus]
CFifteen Cuban Gminutes are Geasy to emCbrace, no Ccalendars or Gwatch to wind, no Gschedules to Cchase.
[Bridge]
In the E7land where time means nothing this Amphrase it cries, "Delay!" D7Put it on a tee shirt and Geveryone will pay.
[Chorus]
You say Cminutos CuGbanos, Gdejace la Cdrama; aCqui no hay AGC Gsolo la venCtana.
[Verse 5]
N.C.Music makes use happy, it's in our chromosomes; no N.C.matter where we wander, music takes us home. It N.C.started on the island, disbursed by sweet songbirds who N.C.flew north 'cross the Gulf Stream and everybody heard.
[Verse 6]
Now the N.C.clock just keeps on ticking, I hear it everywhere I go, and I N.C.sing along in cars and bars along Calle Ocho. God N.C.bless Ricky Ricardo and Little Ricky, too, they N.C.set my mind on island time. How about you?
[Verse 7]
The GGreeks and ECgyptians had Gsundials in the Csand, Gnow we have aCtomic clocks that Gmeasure the Big CBang. Still GI prefer the Csimple way, let's Gtake it to the Cstreet; more Gwalking and less Ctalking, Gtap time with your Cfeet.
[Chorus]
CFifteen Cuban Gminutes still Gstands the test of Ctime, Clike a Salas Gphotograph or G Kenneth Patchen Crhyme.
[Bridge]
If you're E7looking for a launchpad, Amno news, just hearsay, don't D7bother with the WiFi, fuck GSiri, ask Jose!
[End-Chorus]
CFifteen Cuban Gminutes, Gthere's no end in Csight; I'll Cmeet you by the Gcannon on the the G Malecón toCnight.
