 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 Ala, la la la la la la F#mla
 La la la la la la Dla
 La la la la la la E7la
 You better come home, Speedy GonAzales
 Away from tannery F#mrow
 Stop alla your a-Ddrinkin'
 With that floozie named E7Flo
 Come on home to your aAdobe
 And slap some mud on the F#mwall
 The roof is leakin' like a Dstrainer
E7There's loadsa roaches in the Ahall
 Speedy GonDzales, (Speedy Gonzales)
 why dontcha come Ahome?
 Speedy GonDzales, (Speedy Gonzales)
 how come ya leave me all aElone?
 "Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown
 for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers."

 La la la la la la Dla
 La la la la la la E7la
 Your doggy's gonna have a Apuppy
 And we're runnin' outta F#mcoke
 No enchiladas in the Dicebox
 And the television's E7broke
 I saw some lipstick on your Asweatshirt
 I smelled some perfume in your F#mear
 Well if you're gonna keep on Dmessin'
 Don't bring your business back a-Ahere
