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
la la la la la la la.
#1.
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

Your dog is gonna have a puppy, and we're running out of Coke.
D E7
No enchiladas in the icebox, and the television's broke.

F#m
perfume in your ear.

Well, if you're gonna keep on messin', don't bring your
