[ Bad Raps ] Don't Cry For Me 'Lil Juanita
For real, I'm reeling
hopping mad, feeling
meaner than a Mexican
jumping beaner
Missing my Mama
been years since I've seen her
once upon a time in Mexico
long ago
Now can't afford gas
to drive across the border
Yeah, that's right, Pendejo
---you're out of order
She's stuck over there
I'm stuck over here
You cut in line
to steal jobs that were mine
and all you got to say
for your sorry ass self is
Don't cry for me 'lil Juanita
The truth is I had to leave you
to make more money for our family
so we could afford a large screen television
---I grew tired of our thirty-two inch screen
We must keep up with the Juanses
and pay for everything in cash
why the hell should I bust my hump
doing what I do, but making five times less?
So, I'm off to the U.S.
the Land of Opportunity
to blend in with the rest of society
so many Americans
who don't appreciate what they have
too lazy to mow the grass
and trim their own fucking hedges
Hedging my bets
with prayers in Sunday mass
waiting for Mama's visa approval
legal right of passage to pass
Until then?
Viva La Immigration my ass
'Merica, what a grand nation
for the One Percenter upper class
and putos who covertly sneak in
cut in front of patiently waiting brethren
then cry like a little whining bitches
about the evils of Deportation
while mailing home your riches
and all you got to say
for your sorry ass self is
I think I will stay here
forever, till I die
My dearest Juanita
don't be you be sad
don't you cry
and just be glad
you don't have to sleep with me anymore
after I've eaten that fifth burrito
Don't cry for me 'lil Juanita
Try not to think of it as being abandoned
to care for our children all by your lonesome
while I drink six packs of Corona
with my new American wife
and never wake up before noon
Juanita! Juanita! Juanita!
This is where I cast my American right to vote
for a new Tex Mex Border Alligator Moat
Let's see your family swim over now
so rude, illegally---
PLEASE DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS
---once they've become a meal of Mexican fast food
Juanita, don't cry for me!
