San Juan (to the tune of Downtown), 1984

When you wish that you never left home--
 then you must always be in SAN JUAN.


When you have the lizards run on your toes,
 then you must really be in SAN JUAN.


Just look both ways before you go out into traffic,
And then you close your eyes and pray you'll cross the street alive.


Then when you do, you find that the shop is closed
And you must try again--they'll tell your next of kin
About SAN JAUN
 Where all the cars have dents.
SAN JUAN
 Each house has a 10-foot fence.
SAN JUAN
 Where nothing makes sense to me.


In SAN JUAN, SAN JUAN, SAN JUAN (Fade)
