La Migra by Pat Mora
I
Let's play La MigraI'll be the Border Patrol.You be the Mexican maid.I get the badge and sunglasses.You can hide and run,but you can't get awaybecause I have a jeep.I can take you whereverI want, but don't askquestions becauseI don't speak Spanish.I can touch you whereverI want but don't complaintoo much because I've gotboots and kick--if I have to,and I have handcuffs.Oh, and a gun.Get ready, get set, run.

II
Let's play La MigraYou be the Border Patrol.I'll be the Mexican woman.Your jeep has a flat,and you have been spottedby the sun.All you have is heavy: hat,glasses, badge, shoes, gun.I know this desert,where to rest,where to drink.Oh, I am not alone.You hear us singingand laughing with the wind,Agua dulce brota aqui,aqui, aqui, but since youcan't speak Spanish,you do not understand.Get ready.
