Speedy Gonzales (1962) (midi)

G ~

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:

G Em C D7

La la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G Em

1. You'd better come home, Speedy Gonzales, way from Cannery Row,

C D7

stop all your drinkin' with that floozie named Flo.

G Em

Come on home to your adobe, and slap some mud on the wall.

C D7 G-C-G

The roof is leakin' like a strainer, there's lots of roaches in the hall.

C G

Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), why don't you come home?

C D7

Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), how come you leave me all alone?

(Hey, Rosita! I have to go shopping downtown for my mother. She needs

G Em C D

some tortillas and chili peppers!) La, la la la la la la la la .....

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G Em

2. Your dog is gonna have a puppy, and we're runnin' out of Coke.

C D7

No enchiladas in the icebox, and the television's broke.

G Em

I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt, I smell some perfume in your ear.

C D7 G-C-G

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

G Em C D

some green stamps with tequila!) La, la la la la la la la la, la.....

G Em C D

La, la la la la la la la la, la ....
