Puerto Rican

 

This anti-racism song may have originally been subtitled “The Real West Side Story”

i seen you walkin’ down the street
what’s that thing down by your feet?
whatever it is, it could do with a beatin’
looks to me like a puerto rican

a chick like you is oh so rare
you get off on his greasy hair
you got a smart apartment, you got central heatin’
why go and waste it on a, a puerto rican?

i’m gonna light up a beacon on a puerto rican
gonna strike a matchstick on his head
light up a beacon on a puerto rican
gonna watch me smile as he drops down dead, yeah

(well) me and the boys don’t think it’s right
that you stay out with him all night
don’t go makin’ such a fuss
come and burn him up with us

if you drag him, he will bleed
don’t you put him on that lead
we can’t have his eight pints leakin’
even if he’s a, a puerto rican

i’m gonna light up a beacon on a puerto rican
gonna strike a matchstick on his head
light up a beacon on a puerto rican
gonna watch me smile as he drops down dead

light up a beacon on a puerto rican
gonna …
light up a beacon on puerto riiiiiiiiiiiii...
¡arriba!
