Speedy Gonzales Pat Boone
Top of the charts in 1962.
INTRO:(Ad lib) (Capo 1st fret for orig.)
[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:
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.
[E7]You better come home Speedy Gon[A]zales, away from Cannery [F#m]Row.
Stop all of your [D]drinking, with that floosie named [E7]Flo.
Come on home to your a[A]dobe, and slap some mud on the [F#m]wall.
The roof is leaking like a [D]strainer.
[E7]There's loads of roaches in the [A]hall[D].[A]
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[E7]lone?
(Ad lib)Hey, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown
for my mother.
She needs some Tortillias and Chilli Peppers.
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.
[E7]Your dog is gonna have a [A]puppy, and we're running out of [F#m]Coke.
No enchiladas in the [D]icebox, and the television's [E7]broke.
I saw some lipstick on your [A]sweatshirt, I smelled some
perfume in your [F#m]ear.
Well, if you're gonna keep on [D]messin', [E7]don't bring your
business back [A]here.[D] [A]
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.
CHORUS:
Speedy G[D]onzales (Speedy Gonzales) why don't you come [A]home?
Speedy Gon[D]zales (Speedy Gonzales),how come you leave me
all a[E7]lone?
(Ad lib)Hey, Rosita, come quick!Down at the cantina,
they're giving green stamps with Tequila!
ADD:
[A]La la la..la la la la la la [F#m]la...la la la la la la [D]la...
la la la la la la [E]la.(x2)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
