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:
A F#m D
La la la..la la la la la la la...la la la la la la la...

E7 A F#m
You better come home Speedy Gonzales, away from Cannery Row.
D E7
Stop all of your drinking, with that floosie named Flo.
A F#m
Come on home to your adobe, and slap some mud on the wall.
D
The roof is leaking like a strainer.
E7 A D A
There's loads of roaches in the hall.
Chorus:
D A
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales) why don't you come home?
D
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales),how come you leave me
E7
all alone?
(Ad lib)Hey, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown
for my mother.
She needs some Tortillias and Chilli Peppers.
