"Un Poco Loco" is a song from the 2017 Disney/Pixar animated feature film Coco.
Plot[]
It is sung by Miguel and Héctor who find themselves performing on the fly at a music contest in the Land of the Dead,[1] to win an invitation to Ernesto's party, unaware that Pepita helped the Riveras track them down successfully. Because of this, Miguel is unable to collect his prize once he wins and instead flees the area to evade his family.
Lyrics[]
Miguel:
What color is the sky?
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
You tell me that it's red
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
Where should I put my shoes?
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
You say, "put them on your head"
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
You make me un poco loco
Un poquititito loco
The way you keep me guessing
I'm nodding and I'm yessing
I'll count it as a blessing
That I'm only un poco loco!
(instrumental verse)
Héctor:
The loco that you make me
It is just un poco crazy
The sense that you're not making
Miguel:
The liberties that you're taking
Miguel and Héctor:
Leaves my cabeza shaking
You are just un poco loco!
Chorus: (heard in background) It is just un poco crazy, leaves my cabeza shaking (Héctor: ¡Dale duro, Miguelito!)
It is just un poco crazy, leaves my cabeza shaking
It is just un poco crazy, leaves my cabeza shaking
It is just un poco crazy, leaves my cabeza shaking
Miguel and Héctor:
Un poquititi-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-to loco!
Miguel:
What color is the sky?
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
You tell me that it's red
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
Where should I put my shoes?
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
You say, "put them on your head"
¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!
You make me un poco loco
Un poquititito loco
The way you keep me guessing
I'm nodding and I'm yessing
I'll count it as a blessing
That I'm only un poco loco!
Héctor:
The loco that you make me
It is just un poco crazy
The sense that you're not making
Miguel:
The liberties that you're taking
Miguel and Héctor:
Leaves my cabeza shaking
You are just un poco loco!
Chorus: It is just un poco crazy, leaves my cabeza shaking (Héctor: ¡Dale duro, Miguelito!)
(Donald: Thank you!)
Miguel and Héctor:
Un poquititi-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-to loco!
(ends with Donald hanging onto Pepita's tail)
