Little Chico, you're a man now
And to look at girls you can now
It's time to learn the facts of love, my son (Shoo-bop-dee-bop-bop)
Now, to fall in love is human
So, each time you meet a woman
Just grab your hat and coat and start to run, yeah

Run, Chico, run, run for your life
Run, Chico, run or you're stuck with a wife
Run, Chico, run, run far away
He who loves and run away loves another day (Run, run, run, run, run)

If her lips look sweet and tender
If you're yearning to surrender
Don't lose your head or you will lose your heart (Shoo-bop-dee-bop-bop)
If you get that marriage feeling
And on bended knee you're kneeling
Remember that's how sprinters got their start, yeah

Run, Chico, run, run for your life
Run, Chico, run or you're stuck with a wife
Run, Chico, run, run far away
He who loves and run away loves another day (Run, run, run, run, run), ah-ha-ha, woo!

If you don't take any chances
You will never have romances
But there's a hitch to all this, my son (Shoo-bop-dee-bop-bop)
If you beat it on the double
You will never get in trouble
But you will never get a little fun, eh, yeah

Run, Chico, run, run for your life
Run, Chico, run or you're stuck with a wife
Run, Chico, run, run far away
He who loves and run away loves another day (Run, run, run, run)

Gotta have some fun today
So, don't run too fast (Don't run too fast)
