ADIOS 
Adios to thee. City of the dark—eyed gente, 
Land of "mucho calor" and dolce far niento. 
Hone of the wailing donkey 
And the nil-abounding flea, 
Manana, Gracias d Dios, I bid adieu to thee. 
Farewell ye gloomy casas, "major dieho" prison colls, 
Y e dirty crooked calles, reeking with assorted smells. 
Ye dirty little coffee shops and filthy pul<erias. 
Stinking 3tables, dingy patios and fetid canerias. 
%ere beggars ride on horseback like Spanish caraliers, 
And vagabonds perambulate like Jolly grenadiers, 
Where Levanderas wash the "ropa" when they feel inclined. 
And hotel waiters strut about with shirt tail out behind. 
Goodbye you Latin greasers "su atento servidor, 
"Qua vays bien pues", myboat is on the shore. 
Oh, dirty people, dirty houses, despicable spot. 
Departing I saluto thee in your filthiness and rot. 
Steaming and streaming with boiling prespiration. 
Seething and breathing with hurried respiration, 
Adios forever, "Tierra tan caliente". 
Infernal clime of vicious rum and fiery aguardiente.
