Acapulco Gone Loco

ACAPULCO GONE LOCO

Acapulco was once the jewel of the Mexican Pacific coast and playground of the rich and famous. Ever since I have been here it has gone to the dogs. A great shame and despite all the promotions and efforts to bring tourism back it will require a major shift in the whole country to bring about peace and prosperity not only to Acapulco but also to an increasing number of other cities and states.

Acapulco’s the place for some fun and some frolics Unless you’re unlucky and they cut off your bollocks Or kidnap your daughter or slaughter the lot of you Caught in the crossfire of yet one more narco-feud

This town full of runnels, big ships with small funnels And fishing smacks no longer up to the gunwales Escape to the hills through the two Maxi tunnels Not quite the tube but neither the Chunnel

The catch in this city’s the one on your door And safety in numbers along the seashore Dirty green waves crashing down on the beach In Paradise lost, gone, so far out of reach

The famous no longer look out from Las Brisas No longer the haunt of those little Caesars So where does that leave us twixt narcos and divas A coastal retreat for the dumb or the devious

I try to avoid Even thinking about it Go there again? I very much doubt it!
