spanish speaking island

after seeing how cheap life is in a third world country even a caribbean island this song fell into my lap.

chorus

spanish speaking island
in the caribbean sun
sitting by the pool
drinking rum

em-d-a

when i saw the sign on the door next to mine
no children allowed after nine
tired bartender said with a weary shrug
fat german bankers in their pink speedos
rainbow colored men from the land of the snows
like to bring back the little boys from the barrios
the ones their families rent for a few pesos
then they work on their tans and portfolios

spanish speaking island
in the caribbean sun
sitting by the pool
no more fun

if you ever visit an island in the sun
go for a walk in the barrios
see the laughing children
see the little boys with eyes rimmed in red
who see life from the bottom of a bed
and their only nine years old

spanish speaking island
in the caribbean sun
sitting by the pool
saw a crying father
with a gun
