Cuba Si, Nixon No

You know he's sittin' in a cockpit,
feels like he's in a dream
Because he's heading to Havana,
he should be going to New Orleans
Mr. Dunga señor,
talking very slow and meek
he's sitting in a cockpit,
feels like he's gonna die
He got a hundred twenty passengers
he'd like to get 'em back alive
Living on a cockpit,
he don‘t believe the man is GI

Allright:
Cuba si, Nixon no
Cuba si, Nixon no, no, no
Baby no, no, no

You know the Spanish-speaking people
got a different way of running the show
Spanish-speaking people
got a different way of running the show
He got a whiping disentery
on a recent trip to Mexico
But there's no need to worry;
here's Havana on the radio

Cuba si, Nixon no
Cuba si, Nixon no, no, no
Baby no, no, no
You know the Spanish-speaking people
got a different way of running the show

You know he's sittin' in a cockpit,
feels like he's in a dream
You know he's heading to Havana,
he should be going to New Orleans
Mr. Dunga señor,
talking very slow and meek

Cuba si, Nixon no
Cuba si, Nixon no, no, no
Baby no, no, no
You know the Spanish-speaking people
got a different way of running the show

Cuba si, Nixon no
Cuba si, Nixon no, no, no
Baby no, no, no
You know the Spanish-speaking people
got a different way of running the show

Comentarios: "Bridge Over Troubled Water" iba a costar en un principio de 12 temas, Paul Simon quería incluir "Cuba Si, Nixon No", pero Garfunkel prefería "Feuilles-O" inspirada en una coral de Bach. Al final no hubo acuerdo y tras alguna pelea dejaron el disco con 11 temas.
Paul admitió muchos años después que "Cuba Si, Nixon No" no es una gran canción y probablemente no merecía aparecer en el disco.
La canción solo se puede escuchar interpretada en directo en el pirata "Back To College". También se pueden escuchar fragmentos en el especial de televisión "Songs of America" donde podemos ver a Simon trabajando en el tema, por lo que se supone que esta grabada, pero hasta la fecha permanece inedita.
