Adios Senorita - Edwin Starr

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

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

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

And her tears fell like rain

When she saw me get on the train

Leavin' Spanish Harlem

But I cried out adios (Adios) senorita

Adios (Adios) bonita, mamacita

Gotta get home, Lord, now

(Adios) Adi, Adios

(Adios)

Missed the A-Train

Because my baby’s waiting for me, Mr. A-Train

You see, my roof is kinda leakin'

And it’s lookin' just like rain

And my supper’s on the table

And she’s on that windowpane

Adios (Adios) senorita

Adios (Adios) bonita, mamacita

Maybe mañana but not today

I got to see my baby, Lord, I got to be on my way (Adios)

Hasta la vista (Adios), senorita (Adios)
