He still lives with his mami, but he sneaks down,

A coolie in the shadow of the playground

This is the cave of The Vampires,
26
Count Dracula's castle,
27
The very sight could turn a white man grey.
28
Made in the shade, use my umbrella
29
Black like the night we fly in.
30
That blade is all you need to keep the dogs away.
31
So, you want to be a vampire, man! That's good.

Frenchy Cordero goes down to Hell's Kitchen
40
To sell the Irish some weed
41
So this Paddy Boy's mother on the stoop starts bitchin'
42
'Bout spics is a mongrel breed
43
Now here comes her son
44
He looks like a ton of corned beef
45
Floating in beer
46
He says
47
'Fucking Puerto Rican dope-dealing punk
48
Get your shit-brown ass out of here.'

So the shanty-town Irish they kicked his ass good.
55
Fractured his collar bone
56
Co?o, all I was thinking is, 'What home of the brave?

This a fucking war zone'
