Southwest Side Lyrics - Singles - Franky Perez

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?
