Intro: drums only

Hands on the bucket, bucket turned down
Cowbell don't quit, we ain't leavin' the sound
Count 'em with me now — how many left?
(Twenty!)
How many left?
(Twenty!)

Verse: male lead

Peru. Loreto. River go by Aucayacu.
One old man in a hut with the radio on,
countin' speakers on his fingers till the fingers all gone.
One hand for the living, one hand for the dead.
He said the word for water, then he went to bed.
Twenty voices standin'. Twenty. That's the fact.
I'ma call it from the stage and y'all gon' say it back.

One more time! — (Taushiro!)
Twenty left in the room!

Little man in the front row, open up that mouth —
Tau — (Tau!)
Shi — (Shi!)
Ro — (Ro!)
Put it together! — (Taushiro!)
Again! — (Taushiro!)
Again! — (Taushiro!)
Y'all just made twenty-one.

Instrumental jazz funk

Verse: female lead

It means the tongue. It means the people. It means us.
It means a river with no road on it, no bus.
Nineteen names on a page, one voice on a tape,
and a cowbell holdin' the door so the word can get out.

Chorus: call and response

Say it back! — (Taushiro!)
Say it back! — (Taushiro!)
One more time! — (Taushiro!)
Twenty left in the room!
Say it back! — (Taushiro!)
Say it back! — (Taushiro!)
Don't you drop it! — (Taushiro!)
Twenty left in the room!

Outro: long groove tail

Bucket. Cowbell. Mouth to mouth.
(Taushiro!)
Pass it down the row, don't let it out the house.
(Taushiro!)
Twenty on the floor and the floor ain't movin'.
(Taushiro!)
Twenty. Twenty. Twenty left in the room.
(Taushiro!)
Keep that pocket. Don't cut it. Go.
