Puerto Rican Day Parade

All across the city the party has begun
From Brownsville in Brooklyn
To Hunts Point in The Bronx
From el barrio in Harlen to the "Loisaida"
It's a day of celebration
And Latin pride

It's the Puerto Rican Day parade
Hey boriqua lay lo lie lo lay
The Puerto Rican Day parade
Hey boriqua lay lo lie lo lay
Boriqua lay lo lie
(Repeat)
