Jack Kerouac

4th Chorus Mexico City Blues

Roosevelt was worth 6, 7 million dollars
He was Tight
 
Frog waits
Till poor fly
Flies by
And then they got him
 
The pool of clear rocks
Covered with vegetable scum
Covered the rocks
Clear the pool
Covered the warm surface
Covered the lotus
Dusted the watermelon flower
Aerial the Pad
Clean queer the clear
blue water
 
AND THEN THEY GOT HIM
 
The Oil of the Olive
Bittersweet taffies
Bittersweet cabbage
Cabbage soup made right
A hunk a grass
Sauerkraut let work
in a big barrel
Stunk but Good
