Speedy Gonzales Pat Boone
written by Kaye/Hill/Lee
performed by Pat Boone
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:
La la [A]la, la la la la la la [F#m]la
La la la la la la [D]la
La la la la la la [E7]la
You'd better come home, Speedy Gon[A]zales
Away from Cannery [F#m]Row
Stop all your [D]drinkin'
With that floozie named [E7]Flo
Come on home to your a[A]dobe
And slap some mud on the [F#m]wall
The roof is leakin' like a [D]strainer
[E7] There's lots of roaches in the [A]hall
CHORUS:
Speedy Gon[D]zales (Speedy Gonzales)
Why don't you come [A]home?
Speedy Gon[D]zales (Speedy Gonzales)
How come you leave me all a[E]lone?
(Hey, Rosita! I have to go shopping downtown for my mother. She needs some
tortillas and chili peppers!)
La la la...
Verse 2:
Your dog is gonna have a puppy
And we're runnin' out of Coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smell some perfume in your ear
Well, if you're gonna keep a-messin'
Don't bring your business back-a here
(chorus)
(Hey, Rosita, come quick! Down at the Cantina they've got some green stamps
with tequila!)
(repeat "la la la..." and fade)
