Cab Driver My name is Willie Carter
And i drive a Yellow Cab
I picked up these Puerto Ricans
About 12:15 a.m.
On the corner of 46th Street
Didn't like the looks of them
They wanted me to drop them off on
San Juan Hill
Well the little guy with the "stingy brim"
He looked mean enough to kill
Lazarus & Chorus
Run spic run from the shadow of the law
You better run boys run you're the ones they're
Searching for
The Mayor of New York, Robert F. Wagner
No parental guidance
The courts will share the blame
Leniency for animals, who live a life of crime
The city is sick of this violence
The people have taken a stand
I asked Police Commissioner Kennedy for 1400 men
Lazarus & Chorus
Run spic run from the shadow of the law
Run boy run you're the one they're searching for
Cop
Finger print 'em and book 'em
Cop
You were at the scene of the murder
Baboo Charlie

Cop
Well tell us who the killer is man
He's runnin' for his life
Lazarus
A little bit more of this conversation
And the killers' name was known
Sixteen year old Puerto Rican Salvador Agron
Afraid for their lives they vanished in the Bronx
Taking food from garbage and
Hiding from the light.
[an NYPD confronts Sal who has dropped his knife wrapped in a newspaper]
Cop

Pick that up. Yeah bring it over here.
Unwrap it. Let me see it. What the fuck is this?
Yeah step into the light. Let me get a better look at your face.
Sal

Chorus
Kill the spics!
Kill the spics!
Kill the spics!
Lazarus
Esmeralda brought a Bible
But the word of the law was spurned
He said I don't care if they fry me
And my mother could watch me burn
