#SPEEDY GONZALES
#written by Kaye/Hill/Lee

#
#It was a moonlight 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

You'd better come home, Speedy Gon[A]zales
Away from Cannery [F#m]Row
Stop all your [D]drinkin'
With that floozie named [E7]Flo
Come on home to your a[A]dobe
And slap some mud on the [F#m]wall
The roof is leakin' like a [D]strainer
[E7]There's loads of roaches in the [A]hall

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[E]lone?

(Hey, Rosita! I have to go shopping downtown for my mother.She needs some
tortillas and chili peppers!)

La la la...

Verse 2:
Your dog is gonna have a [A]puppy
And we're runnin' out of [F#m]Coke
No enchiladas in the [D]icebox
And the television's [E7]broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweat[A]shirt
I smell some perfume in your [F#m]ear
Well, if you're gonna keep a-[D]messin'
Don't bring your business back-a [E7]here

(chorus)

(Hey, Rosita, come quick! Down at the Cantina they're giving green stamps
with tequila!)

(repeat "la la la..." and fade)
