lyrics

Envia mi amor a Puerto Ri-co (send my love to Puerto Rico)
A-mer-i-ca's extended fam-i ly, Puerto Rico
Please forgive us for electing
a presidential dope.

El Presidente came to Puerto Rico,
threw pa-per towels in-to the crowd.
He was glad that so few people died there
when the hurricane blew e-very-thing down.
He said, soon that help would be coming
Like everything he says it was a lie.
And he lied to us a-bout how many
people died.

Envia mi amor a Puerto Ri-co
A-mer-i-ca's extended fam-i ly, Puerto Rico
Please forgive us for electing
a presidential who blows.

Los hijos de los ricos herendan la tierra. (the sons of the rich inherit the earth)
The rich inherit the earth.
Mientras los pobres mueren en la tormenta. (while the poor people die in the storm)
And they treat the poor as if they were dirt.
But don't feel alone Puerto Rico.
Don't feel as if it's all just a-bout you.
For if President Trump stays in office
we're all screwed.

Envia mi amor a Puerto Ri-co
A-mer-i-ca's extended fam-i ly, Puerto Rico
Please forgive Trump for lying
it’s the only thing he knows.

Please send my love to Puerto Rico
Please send it in a big, fat boat to Puerto Rico
Rebuild the island paradise, Puerto Rico
Please forgive us for electing
a president who lies.
