It was a moonlit night in old Mexico.

I walked alone between some old doby haziendas.

Suddenly I heard the plaintive cry of a young mexican girl.


                 C            Am           F            G
            Lalalaaaaaa, lalalaaaaaa, lalalaaaaaa, lalalaaaaaa
                                             C

                              Am
            Away from Tanary Road
                            F
            Stop all your drinking
                                     G
            With that fellow named float


                                  C
      2.      Come on home to your doby
                                        Am
            And slap some mud upon the wall
                                          F
            The roof is leaking like a straighter
                             G            C    F  C
            There're no red roses in the hall


                       F                          C
      Ref.:      Speedy Gonzales - why don't you come home
                       F                                  G
            Speedy Gonzales - how come you leave me all alone 

      Intro:      Hey Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown for my mother

            She needs some tortillias and chilly pepper
                 C            Am           F            G
            Lalalaaaaaa, lalalaaaaaa, lalalaaaaaa, lalalaaaaaa

                                      Am
            And we're running out of coal
                                F
            No insalatas in the ice-box
                                    G
            And the television's broke
                                           C
      4.      I saw some lipsticks on your sweat-shirt
                                          Am
            I smell some perfume in your hair
                                          F
            Well if you're gonna keep on messing
                              G                C    F  C
