El Gran Concourse


Now's the time of summer's heat
The bongos, their staccato beat.
Domino tables line the street.
The Latin girls sing merengue.

From City Island we see the stars.
Yankee games in all the bars
The Major Deegan crawls with cars.
The Latin girls sing merengue.

Tigers prowling in the zoo.
Hunts Point women prowling too.
Each with an offer just for you.
The Latin girls sing merengue.

Lincoln ER on a Friday night
Such a carnage, such a sight.
A relative asks," Got a light?"
The Latin girls sing merengue.

As we pass by the scenes unfold.
Of stories young, of stories old
As timeless as El Dorado's gold.
The Latin girls sing merengue.

Monicarena


Monica Lewinsky took a job as an intern
And soon her job description for the Pres took a new turn.
Executive positions on her knees she had to relearn.
Hey - Ms. Lewinsky!

Ms. Lewinsky had a job,
Few other firms could match it.
Every time the Pres had an itch she had to scratch it.
Secret service agents at the door, they lock and latch it.
Hey - Ms. Lewinsky.

Then one day Bill Clinton made a call to Betty Currie.
I got a problem here and have to solve it in a hurry.
Ken Starr’s holding hearings so those gifts I gotta bury.
Hey - Ms. Lewinsky.

Ms. Lewinsky, Ms. Lewinsky, Ms. Lewinsky.
Should have taken much more time to do some thinking!
Maybe should have settled for a drinkee!
Betcha didn’t know Clinton was kinky!

Monica Lewinsky took a job as an intern.
When word leaked out of details,
Ken Starr did a slow burn.
The country’s fate, it seems, is about to take a downturn.
Hey - Ms. Lewinsky!
