Verse 1
Well I [G]heard they castrated [Em]Castro
I heard they [C]cut off everything he [G]had
What a [G]dirty low down [Em]thing to do
To [C]mess him up like [G]that
They [G]dumped him in a [Em]jungle
In the [C]land of the sugar [G]cane
Ever [G]since the day they [Em]fiddled around
I said he [C]ain’t never been the [G]same

Verse 2
Well I [G]heard they castrated [Em]Castro
[C]Because he was the people's [G]friend
They [G]told him once and they [Em]told him twice
Said I [C]ain’t gonna tell you [G]again
They [G]put a bit of [Em]pressure on him
That's when he [C]told them what they could [G]do

"Set up a [C]jungle [G]rendezvous"
