Green eggs and Jan

She would not like him with a mouse, she would not take him from a house.

I am Jan,
Jan I am.
I will not pick up Elián.

I will not put him in a car,
I will not take him near or far,
I will not go inside that house,
That Waco thing still freaks me out.

I will not take him in the rain,
I will not put him on a plane,
I will not pick him up, you see,
The exiles would be mad at me.

I will not take him to his dad,
Would you make Gloria Estefan mad?
I will not send him to Fidel,
Cause Marisleysis says it's hell.

I will not go and do my job,
I'm too scared of that angry mob,
I will not push old Uncle Laz,
He's got more lawyers than I have.

I know I promised, but oh well,
That's just too bad for Juan Miguel.
