Palm trees are tall like the skyscrapers
the entrance says welcome over the gate
and Margarita lost a shoe bailando salsa
she threw away the other to dance descalza
such a hard life she's after
but she smiles like a fool at Pablo
in his yellow Malibu, singing babalu
after winning at capicú, who knew
who knew that spirits dance mambo to hip hop
and snow flakes at tropical pit stops
this place we forgot, the puddles of our hearts
flood out in large amounts,
some drinks for all the natives
look around we all related
peace and love so underrated
que bueno que you made it
to the best place in town, from Puerto Rico
all the way to the boogie down
check the smells and sounds
in the underground that you found here.

Check out the sabor en every flavor
as the owner Pedro counts his pesos giving besos
its a common custom,??? you can trust them
with your life, tranquilo its safe at night
and if you are in the mood to view the city lights
of paradise, you don't even have to go to Paris
you can go out on the dosey perris terrace
where tropical sounds can be found
you can sit or just lounge
or get Boricua down
mi casa es su casa, que pasa spoken here
mi raza su raza, love is in the air
and nothing compares to Nuyorico
it will make you fall in love
besame mucho and all the above
you'll be greeted with kisses and hugs
la comida, la musica y la cultura
eso es la droga dance your feet and rip the rug up?

At night the windows are covered with sudor
every cabana is a smoky humidor
and you can recognize the scent from the door
contraband of? the music and more
and out on the veranda the host is Cassandra
guarantees all your needs will be served
the entertainment is superb
vacilon is the secret password, hey yo you never heard
about the coquito served by Enrique
who only speak el ingles un poquito
while Angelina cooks and cleans for a fee
nothing here is free, to pay is to be
so the patrons and me we get long singing songs
of La Isla Bonita, yeah we are all Boricuas
and if you no comprendo mi lengua its okay
I'll speak it slow en acento Nuyorico
