SPEEDY GONZALES

written by Kaye/Hill/Lee

performed by Pat Boone

tab transcribed by Collins Crapo

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:

      A                     F#m

La la la, la la la la la la la

                  D

La la la la la la la

                  E7

La la la la la la la

                                  A

You'd better come home, Speedy Gonzales

                  F#m

Away from Cannery Row

              D

Stop all your drinkin'

                        E7

With that floozie named Flo

                      A

Come on home to your adobe

                         F#m

And slap some mud on the wall

                           D

The roof is leakin' like a strainer

E7                               A

  There's lots of roaches in the hall

CHORUS:

          D

Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)

                   A

Why don't you come home?

          D

Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)

                           E

How come you leave me all alone?

(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 puppy

And we're runnin' 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 a-messin'

Don't bring your business back-a here

(chorus)

(Hey, Rosita, come quick! Down at the Cantina they've got some green stamps

   with tequila!)

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