Lyrics
CHORUS: No quiero oro, ni quiero plata (I don’t want silver, I don’t want gold) (Hold hands and walk in a circle) Yo lo que guiero es romper la piñata (All I want to do is break the piñata) (Walk into center of circle and out again, holding hands)
Cover up your eyes now (sing 3 times) (Cover eyes ) At Christmas time Swing hard the stick now (sing 3 times) (Pretend to be holding a stick and swing) At Christmas time CHORUS Break the piñata (sing 3 times) (Clap hands once every time word “break” is sung ) At Christmas time Gather up the candy (sing 3 times) (Crouch down and pretend to gather candy) At Christmas time CHORUS Break the piñata (sing 3 times) (Clap hands once every time word “break” is sung.) A t Christmas time
