Hey you
Please open the door
I can’t wait anymore
My poor feet are aching,
Hey you
I can see your light on
I got somethin’ to write on
Guess I’ll come back tomorrow
And the next day
And the next day
And the day after that one
Have no fear
I’ll be right here
Just waiting for you to say
Hey, my name is John Doe
I live in a condo
My race is Alaska Native and Latino
And my roommate
Hell, how should I know?
His name is Donald or somethin’
Hey, can you come back tomorrow
La da da da
La da da da
Guess I’ll see you tomorrow
And the next day
And the next day
And the day after that one
Have no fear,
I’ll be right here
Just waiting for you to say
Hey, my name is John Doe
I live in a condo
My race is Alaska Native and Latino
And my roommate
Hell, how should I know?
His name is Gavin or somethin’
Hey, can you come back tomorrow
La da da da
La da da — hey wait a minute!
I thought you said his name was Donald…?!
Guess I’ll see you tomorrow!

Census Song / Canción del Censo
¡Oye! Favor de abrir la puerta
Ya no puedo esperar
Duelen mis pobres pies
¡Oye! Veo su luz prendida
Tengo lápiz y libreta
Pues, mañana regreso
Y el día siguiente
Y el día siguiente
Y el día que sigue
No se preocupe
Aquí estaré
Esperando a que me diga:
“¡Hola! Me llamo John Doe,
Vivo en un condo
Mi raza es Indígena Alasqueña y Latino
¿Y mi compa? Yo qué sé…
Le dicen Donald o algo,
Oye, ¿podría regresar mañana mejor?”
La da da da
La da da da
Pues, nos vemos mañana
Y el día siguiente
Y el día siguiente
Y el día que sigue
No se preocupe
Aquí estaré
Esperando a que me diga:
“¡Hola! Me llamo John Doe,
Vivo en un condo
Mi raza es Indígena Alasqueña y Latino
¿Y mi compa? Yo qué sé…
Le dicen Gavin o algo,
Oye, ¿podría regresar mañana mejor?”
La da da da
La da da – ¡Ey, espera un momento!
¿No me dijo ayer que su compa se llamaba Donald…?
