I thought I'd build a dalli
By the street marketplace,
Adios, poor little mamacita
Because I've got to be strong
Because I've got to get on home
Lord, my sweet little darling
Oh, but suddenly we started to merengue
To the rhythm of those garbage cops
Someone yelled out fresh bananas
Lord, we danced until the
And our tears fell like rain when
she saw me get on the train
But I call out adios, adios, senorita
Because my baby's waiting for me
You see my roof is kinda leakin'
And it's lookin' just like rain
And my supper's on the table
And she's got that window pane
Maybe mañana, but not today
Lord, I got to be on my way
