Speedy Gonzales:Pat Boone.
Top of the charts in 1962.
INTRO:(Ad lib)
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.
#1.
You better come home Speedy Gonzales, away from Cannery 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.
CHORUS:
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales),how come you leave me
all alone?
(Ad lib)Hey, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown
for my mother.
She needs some Tortillias and Chilli Peppers.
La la la..la la la la la la la...la la la la la la la...
la la la la la la la.
#2.
Your dog is 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 smelled some
perfume in your ear.
Well, if you're gonna keep on messin', don't bring your
business back here.
La la la..la la la la la la la...la la la la la la la...
la la la la la la la.
CHORUS:
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales),how come you leave me
all alone?
(Ad lib)Hey, Rosita, come quick!Down at the cantina,
they're giving green stamps with Tequila!
ADD:
La la la..la la la la la la la...la la la la la la la...
la la la la la la la.(x2)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
