Speedy Gonzales

Kaye, Hill, Lee / Pat Boone (1962)

It was a moonlight night in old Mexico
I walked along between some old adobe haciendas
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl:
D Bm G A7
La la la, la la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la
D Bm
You'd better come home, Speedy Gonzales - Away from Cannery Row
G A7
Stop all your drinkin' - With that floozie named Flo
D Bm
Come on home to your adobe - And slap some mud on the wall
G A7 D
The roof is leakin' like a strainer - There's lots of roaches in the hall
G D
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) - Why don't you come home?
G A
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 tortillas and chili peppers!
D Bm G A7
La la la, la la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la
D Bm
Your dog is gonna have a puppy - And we're runnin' out of Coke
G A7
No enchiladas in the icebox - And the television's broke
D Bm
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt - I smell some perfume in your ear
G A7 D
Well, if you're gonna keep a-messin' - Don't bring your business back-a here
G D
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) - Why don't you come home?
G A
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) - How come you leave me all alone?
Hey, Rosita, come quick! Down at the Cantina they've got some green stamps with tequila!
D Bm G A7
La la la, la la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la
