the natives have is only half value to
the Americans. For example, if
YOU have an American dollar it is
worth 50 Mex, and you have to say
Quaks Mex for one American. like
this, if you say "this man said in
English, it would be "esta unory
oblan de tode de la oba" and 50 on.
Well here is little song that l have
written that will explain matters:
We have a system here,
To puzzle and perplex
The people who can't understanl
The problem we call Mex.
but In every Way Uuio iuio VIII "oA"'
And 50 the law directs,
IL YOU have one American,
1t equals two in Mex.
Their language, too, is just the same
| they have dozen dialects,
| For every word American
Ills two for one in Mex.
The weather, too, is just the same
No part its power neglects,
For every rain in Americ.
.,.s; lis two for one In Mex.
But this rule will never work
When it comes to soldering direct
For every one American
IL worth dCz, IN Mex.
CHORUS:
So its home, boys, home,
Its home we ought to be,
Home, boys, home,

Where the ash and the oak

T, hell with old Manila
Back to Frisco we ought to go.
