Condescending down the stairs

I'm condescending down the stairs

I look out for a moment

Condescending down the stairs

I'm condescending down the stairs

I look down at the bottles

I just know I got something coming

If I got anything coming at all

I just know I got something coming

If I got anything coming at all

(2x)

There are immigrants, I know

Who came, like me, as little kids

They think that today it's so different

And they believe that immigrant

Shouldn't be aloud to come here anymore

They do bad for the economy

I just know they got something coming

If they got anything coming at all

I just know they got something coming

If they got anything coming at all

(2x)

When I landed I didn't see

The Statue of Liberty

Like so many immigrants before me

In the airplane, I didn't sleep

I stayed up watching 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'

in English -- I loved it, but didn't understand it

Then I woke up in the middle of the night

In a big room with golden curtains and a fold-out couch

I thought I was in heaven or in Cinderella

Then I woke up in the middle of the night

In a big room in my cousin's house in Rockland County

I thought I was in heaven or in Cinderella

I heard the swimming pool noises

I didn't know there were swimming pool noises

I heard the swimming pool noises

And there was a dog, a dog, a real live dog

I heard the swimming pool noises

I didn't know there were swimming pool noises

I heard the swimming pool noise

And there was a dog, a dog, a real live dog
