Pat Boone, Speedy Gonzales (1962)
Key: :[A#] (w: Buddy Kaye, Ethel Lee, David Hess)

INTRO: [*R1]

SPOKEN:
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

CHORUS:
La, la, [A#] laaaaa,
La, la, la, la, la, la, [Gm] laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, [D#] laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, [F] laaaaa

VERSE 1:
You'd better come home, Speedy Gon-[A#]-zales
Away from Cannery [Gm] Row
Stop all your [D#] drinkin'
With that floozie named [F] Flo

VERSE 2:
Come on home to your ado-[A#]-be
And slap some mud on the [Gm] wall
The roof is leakin' like a [D#] strainer
[F] There's lots of roaches in the [A#] hall [D#] [A# open]

BRIDGE:
Speedy Gon-[D#]-zales, why don't you come [A#] home?
Speedy Gon-[D#]-zales, how come you leave me all a-[F]-lone?

SPOKEN:
Hey, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown for my mother
She needs some tortillas and chili peppers

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
Your dog is gonna have a [A#] puppy
And we're runnin' out of [Gm] Coke
No enchiladas in the [D#] icebox
And the television's [F] broke

VERSE 4:
I saw some lipstick on your [A#] sweatshirt
I smell some perfume in your [Gm] ear
Well, if you're gonna keep a-[D#]-messin'
[F] Don't bring your business back-a [A#] here [D#] [A# open]

REPEAT BRIDGE:

SPOKEN:
Hey, Rosita, come quick; down at the Cantina
they've got some green stamps with tequila

REPEAT CHORUS:
