[Verse 1]
I thought I'd dilly-dally
So I was strollin' down Tin Can Alley
By a street market place, I came face-to-face
With an angel down in Harlem
[Chorus]
Adios (Adios) senorita
Adios (Adios) bonita, mamacita
Because I've got to be strong
'Cause I've got to get on home
To my sweet one, my sweet little darling
[Verse 2]
Oh, but suddenly we started to meringuein' [?]
To the rhythm of those garbage tops just bangin'
Someone yelled out, "Fresh bananas" to a distant bongo drum
And we danced, Lord, we danced, until the darkness hit the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
And her tears fell like rain
When she saw me get on the train
Leavin' Spanish Harlem
[Chorus]
But I cried out adios (Adios) senorita
Adios (Adios) bonita, mamacita
Gotta get home, Lord, now
I thought I'd dilly-dally
So I was strollin' down Tin Can Alley
By a street market place, I came face-to-face
With an angel down in Harlem
[Chorus]
Adios (Adios) senorita
Adios (Adios) bonita, mamacita
Because I've got to be strong
'Cause I've got to get on home
To my sweet one, my sweet little darling
[Verse 2]
Oh, but suddenly we started to meringuein' [?]
To the rhythm of those garbage tops just bangin'
Someone yelled out, "Fresh bananas" to a distant bongo drum
And we danced, Lord, we danced, until the darkness hit the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
And her tears fell like rain
When she saw me get on the train
Leavin' Spanish Harlem
[Chorus]
But I cried out adios (Adios) senorita
Adios (Adios) bonita, mamacita
Gotta get home, Lord, now
