A
It was a moonlit night in Old Mexico.
I walked alone between some old adobe haciendas.
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl:
. A F#m D
La la la… .la la la la la la la… la la la la la la la…
. E7
la la la la la la laaa
E7 A F#m
You better come home Speedy Gonzales, away from Cannery Row
. D E7
Stop all of your drinking, with that floosie named Flo
. A F#m
Come on home to your adobe, and slap some mud on the wall.
. D E7 A D A
The roof is leaking like a strainer There’s loads of roaches in the hall
. D A
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) why don’t you come home?
. D E7
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), how come you leave me all alone?
Hey, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown for my mother.
She needs some Tortillias and Chilli Peppers.
A F#m D
La la la… .la la la la la la la… la la la la la la la…
. E7
la la la la la la laaa
E7 A F#m
Your dog is gonna have a puppy, and we’re running out of Coke
. D E7
No enchiladas in the icebox, and the television’s broke
. A F#m
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt, I smelled some perfume in your ear
. D E7 A D A
Well, if you’re gonna keep on messin’, don’t bring your business back here.
. D A
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) why don’t you come home?
. D E7
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), how come you leave me all alone?
Hey, Rosita, come quick! Down at the cantina,
they’re giving green stamps with Tequila!
A F#m D
La la la… .la la la la la la la… la la la la la la la…
. E7
