I'M A WANNA BE CHICANA LADY

         

                                 

I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE A CHIC CHICANA LADY,

SEEN SO LONG AGO IN OLD MEXICO,

IF I COULD, I WOULD BE OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE,

THEN PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER,

WOULD WANT TO PRAY TO ME.

I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE THE CHIC CHICANA PAINTER

FROM LA CIUDAD DE OLD MEXICO,

IF I COULD, I WOULD BE THE PRETTY FRIDA KAHLO,

BUT WOE IS ME, I WOULD  BE THE WIFE OF

FAT MACHO DIEGO.

I WANNA BE,  I WANNA BE A CHIC CHICANA WRITER ,

FROM ESTADO DE NEW MEXICO,

IF I COULD, I WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL ANA CASTILLO

OR IF I COULD, I WOULD SIT  RIGHT BESIDE HER

AND HOPE TO SOME DAY WRITE JUST LIKE HER.
