ELIAN
96 Miles
by nANCI mEEK 1/11/00 (to the tune "Santa Catalina" )
96 miles across the sea
That's where immigration is waiting for me
Castro's gonna do his best to screw this up
For me For Me For Me For Me
96 miles across the sea
My mommy died so I could live a life that's free
My grandmothers and Castro are tugging on me
On me On Me On Me On Me
96 miles across the sea
And here comes that nun from the rectory
Even Bill Clinton wants to see that I'm free
I'm Free I'm Free I'm Free I'm Free
96 miles across the sea
News Reporters have their cameras pointed at me
Everyone says they want what's best for me
For me For Me For Me For Me
96 miles across the sea
Today I'll go to Disneyland and watch TV
I'm not in any hurry cause their spoiling me
Tv Tv Lots of TV
Elian has gone back to Cuba but this is how most of you felt:
