Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child
A lovely girl with a crooked smile
Now they gotta split 'cause the Bronx ain't fit
For a kid to grow up in
Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away
With no blacks, no Jews and no gays

There but for the grace of God go I

There was a time your mama tried the best she could
To satisty a cloud day
You cast away, you didn't even say goodbye
There was a time you spilled line wine
You didn't care to live or die

Now you're turning back your back all around
You've come a long way, baby
Oh
