Mum, I know you'll think I'm potty,
but at last I think I've found him.
He's young but he's mature,
he's not at all like other men.
Simon says one day we'll marry
and we'll have a dozen children.
I said, well I'll have two love,
you can have the other ten.
Mum, I've got this job at Antoine's,
that's a salon on the west side.
The clients love my accent,
they all say, Gee, you're neat!
A shampoo's called a rinse,
and a blow -dry's something filthy.
Outside the shop on Wednesdays,
three nuns tap -dance in the street.
There are lots of things I miss,
No one makes a normal sandwich.
to eat the ones New Yorkers buy.
that hasn't got an ice cube in it.
And for a Wool's Pork Sausage,
I swear I would gladly die.
Simon lives in Greenwich Village,
that's the trendy part of New York.
with the unlikely name of Dwight.
Dwight says he'll get my green card
unless you and dad are Cuban.
Mum, I ought to be alright.
