Speedy Gonzales
Pat Boone


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 floosie 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
(Hey 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
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 a-here
(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
(Hey 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
