SPEEDY GONZALES
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
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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

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

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.....
