Puerto Rican Day Parade

Livin' on Avenue D
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
Had my share of beauty, wine & song

Artists and landlords at war
Can't afford the rent no more
The days of the Glitter Mice in Tompkins Square are gone

Short on plans long on luck
Pull on your boot hard enough and it will get unstuck

Thought all my songs were sung and played
That I had to live with everything I made
Took an uptown train till the rhythm changed
And then I see you at the Puerto Rican day parade

Thought all my songs were sung and played
That I had to live with everything I made
Took an uptown train till the rhythm changed
And then I see you at the Puerto Rican day parade

If all your songs are sung and played
And you're looking at everything you made
Kick off those tired boots and take an uptown train
And see you at the Puerto Rican day parade
I'll see you at the Puerto Rican day parade
I'll see you at the Puerto Rican day parade
