HERNANDEZ

Well, did you bring me my money,

My cab fare

My new shoes?

I got expenses, you know

Where's my weekly dues?

SAL

I ain't giving you my fucking money.

HERNANDEZ

Oye, mother fucker, where's this jibaro

from?

You go when I say.

I call, you come.

You know it takes a strong man to survive.

It ain't no accident that you're still

alive.

HERNANDEZ & THE VAMPIRES

We stand for the neighborhood

HERNANDEZ

He still lives with his mami, but he sneaks

down,

A coolie in the shadow of the playground

You want to fight for your people, don't

you, Sal?

SAL

Well, yeah, if I got to.

HERNANDEZ

Oh, you got to. Come here, I want to show

you something.

This is the cave of The Vampires,

Count Dracula's castle,

The very sight could turn a white man grey.

Made in the shade, use my umbrella

Black like the night we fly in.

That blade is all you need to keep the dogs

away.

So, you want to be a vampire, man! That's

good.

We always looking for young blood in the

neighborhood now

Carlos Apache collects the dues

So you bring us something that we can use

HERNANDEZ & THE VAMPIRES

If you got the balls, then come on, mette

mano,

If you got the balls, then come on, mette

mano,

HERNANDEZ

Frenchy Cordero goes down to Hell's Kitchen

To sell the Irish some weed

So this Paddy Boy's mother on the stoop

starts bitchin'

'Bout spics is a mongrel breed

Now here comes her son

He looks like a ton of corned beef

Floating in beer

He says

'Fucking Puerto Rican dope-dealing punk

Get your shit-brown ass out of here.'

HERNANDEZ & THE VAMPIRES

'Fucking Puerto Rican dope-dealing punk

Get your shit-brown ass out of here.'

We stand for the neighborhood.

HERNANDEZ

So the shanty-town Irish they kicked his ass

good.

Fractured his collar bone

Coo, all I was thinking is, 'What home of

the brave?

This a fucking war zone'

THE VAMPIRES

If you got the balls, then come on, mette

mano,

We stand for the neighborhood.

If you got cojones, come on, mette mano

We stand for the neighborhood

If you got the balls, then come on, mette

mano,

We stand for the neighborhood.

If you got cojones, come on, mette mano
