Franky Perez - Southwest Side lyrics

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?
