North East and South the Mississippi Flows
Check out this .mp3 of the kids in the show rapping about the West Side. Listen here:
http://ia311012.us.archive.org/3/items/WestSideOfTheRiver/KidsRap.mp3
Pay attention, make the right connections
As the nippy Mississippi flows in all directions
When it reaches our city, the waters run East
So the South becomes the West Side of the river for a piece
St. Paul's West Side is not the same as West St. Paul
No it's North of the 'burbs West and South St. Paul, Y'all
East of West Seventh and South of downtown
It's West of the East Side and the river south bound.
North, East and South the Mississippi flows
North, East and South around the West Side (West Side)
Three of our borders are water here
On the West Side of the river (the West Side of the river)
