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 la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la
you better come home speedy gonzales
away from tannery row
stop all of your drinking
with that floozy named flo
come on home to your adobe
and slap some mud on the wall
the roof is leaking like a strainer
there’s loads of roaches in the
hall
la la la la
speedy gonzales speedy gonzales
why don’t you come home
speedy gonzales speedy gonzales
how come you leave me all alone
he rosita i have to go shopping downtown for my mother
she needs some tortillias and chilli pepper
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
la la
your doggie’s gonna have a puppy
and we’re running 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 on messin’
don’t bring your business back ahere
la la la la
mmm speedy gonzales speedy gonzales
why don’t you come home
speedy gonzales speedy gonzales
how come you leave me all alone
he rosita come quick
down at the cantina
they’re giving green stamps with tequila
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
