“My Friend Emilio from Puerto Rico,” Friend, June 1974, 33
My Friend Emilio from Puerto Rico
He calls a cat “gato;”
I call a cat “cat.”
What he calls a “sombrero”
I just call “hat.”
He says, “Muchos gracias!”
I say “Thanks a lot!”
I can’t always tell what he’s saying—so what?
Still we play and get along fine!
For I’m Emilio’s friend,
And he’s a friend of mine!
