Southwest Side |
| There’s a Spanish girl with Ebony eyes |
| Selling Cuban coffee and guava pies |
| While the boys hang at the corner store |
| Drinkin' Iron Beer, rollin' dice on the floor |
| There is two old timers talking politics |
| About the Bay Of Pigs and Alfa '66 |
| Willie Chirino on the radio |
| Cheguevara is no hero |
| It’s just another day on the South-West side |
| There’s a soldier standing in silk fatigues |
| Dictating who stays and who leaves |
| While a desperate man crashes through the gates |
| There’s an uprising at Guantanamo Bay |
| You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone |
| So embrace your freedom, don’t ever let go |
| There’s an American flag waving in a Cuban breeze |
| Fidel Castro is no Jose Martiz |
| It’s just another day on the South-West side |
| It’s just another day on the South-West side |
| It’s just another day on the South-West side |
| They were born in the ocean |
| They were baptized by the sea |
| They find a revolution to fight |
| Freedom in Miami Beach |
| It’s just another day on the South-West side |
| It’s just another day on the South-West side |
| It’s just another day, it’s just another day |
| It’s just another day on the South-West side |
| Oh, say, can you see? |
