Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child |
| [00:29.576] |
A lovely girl with a crooked smile |
| [00:32.848] |
Now they gotta split 'cause the Bronx ain't fit |
| [00:37.118] |
For a kid to grow up in |
| [00:39.634] |
Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away |
| [00:44.169] |
With no blacks, no Jews and no gays |
| [00:46.928] |
There but for the grace of God go I |
| [01:01.248] |
Papi and the family left the dirty streets |
| [01:06.031] |
To find a quiet place overseas |
| [01:09.308] |
And year after year the kid has to hear |
| [01:13.834] |
The do's, the don'ts and the dears |
| [01:16.350] |
And when she's ten years old she digs that Rock 'n' Roll |
| [01:21.135] |
But Papi bans it from the home |
| [01:25.669] |
There but for the grace of God go I |
| [01:36.481] |
(It could be me, it could be you) |
| [01:45.028] |
Baby, she turns out to be a natural freak |
| [01:50.063] |
Gaining weight and losing sleep |
| [01:52.578] |
And when she's sweet sixteen, she packs her things and leaves |
| [01:57.362] |
With a man she met on the street |
| [02:00.128] |
Carmen starts to bawl, bangs her head to the wall |
| [02:04.651] |
Too much love is worse than none at all |
| [02:07.420] |
There but for the grace of God go I |
| [04:18.787] |

Now they gotta split 'cause the Bronx ain't fit |

Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away |
