[Verse 1]
See the vegetable man in the vegetable van
With a horn that's honking like a mariachi band
In the middle of the street people gather around
Put the dollar-dollar-dollar in the can, "¿qué onda?"
TJ cowboys hang around
Sleeping in the sidewalk With a Burger King crown
Never wake them up, Más cerveza
Til the rooster crows, Vatos ver gallos

[Chorus]
¿Qué onda güero?
¿Qué onda güero?
¿Qué onda güero?
¿Qué onda güero?

[Verse 2]
Mano Blancos roll with crowbars
Singing rancheras on cheap guitars
Abuelitas with plastic bags
Walking to the church with the Spanish candles
Dirty borracho says 'que putas!'
Ándale, Joto, your popsicle's melting
(Run better run, da doo run run
Mara Salvatrucha in the midnight sun)
[Chorus]
Güero, where are you going?
¿Qué onda güero?
Güero, where are you going?
¿Qué onda güero?

[Verse 3]
Rampart boys with loaded rif-les
Guatemalan soccer ball instant replays
Mango ladies, vendedoras
And a bus-stop singing
Banda macho chorus

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
See the- see the vegetable man in the vegetable van
With a horn honking honking mari-mariachi band
Middle-middle of the street people gather around
Dollar-dollar-dollar-dollar in the can, "¿Qué onda, güero?"

(¿Qué onda Jose?)

[Chorus]
¿Qué onda güero?
Hey where you going?
¿Qué onda güero?
¿A donde vayas?
