[00:24.792]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)

[01:50.063]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]Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child
[04:23.317]A lovely girl with a crooked smile
[04:26.595]Now they gotta split 'cause the Bronx ain't fit
[04:30.877]For a kid to grow up in
[04:33.134]Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away
