SPEEDY GONZALES
written by Kaye/Hill/Lee

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 (x02220@1)                   F#mLa (244222@1)la la, la la la la la la la
                  DLa (xx0232@1)la la la la la la
                  E7La (020130@1)la la la la la la

                                  AYou'd (x02220@1)better come home, Speedy Gonzales
                  F#mAway (244222@1)from Cannery Row
              DStop (xx0232@1)all your drinkin'
                        E7With (020130@1)that floozie named Flo
                      ACome (x02220@1)on home to your adobe
                         F#mAnd (244222@1)slap some mud on the wall
                           DThe (xx0232@1)roof is leakin' like a strainer
E7 (020130@1)                             A (x02220@1) There's lots of roaches in the hall

CHORUS:
          DSpeedy (xx0232@1)Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)
                   AWhy (x02220@1)don't you come home?
          DSpeedy (xx0232@1)Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)
                           EHow (022100@1)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)
