Immigrant

American ranching consists of a mansion

Where illegal immigrants do much of the labor by hand

They sneak 'em through customs till time comes to bust 'em

Then haul 'em back over the border to their own native land

With a ragged sombrero and not much dinero

They'll be back again when the ole Rio Grande's way down low

So border patroller don't stop the stroller

'Cause the illegal immigrant is helping America grow

Viva La Mexico, go where they let you go

And do what you can for the land

Take home dinero and buy new sombrero

And come back again when you can

What makes a gringo your smart aleck lingo

When he stole this land from the indian way back when

Don't he remember the big money lender

That put him a lien parked where his pencil had been

The almighty peso that gives him the say so

To dry up the river whenever there's crops to bring in

Such a good neighbor to take all his labor

Chase him back over the border till he's needed again

Viva La Mexico, go where they let you go

And do what you can for the land

Take home dinero and buy new sombrero

And come back again when you can

Viva La Mexico, go where they let you go

And do what you can for the land

Take home dinero and buy new sombrero

And come back again when you can
