Bombalurina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from tannery row
Stop alla your a-drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loadsa roaches in the hall

La la la la

Speedy Gonzales, why don'tcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

[Spoken:]
... Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown
For my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili
Peppers. "

La la la la la...

Your doggy's gonna have a puppy

And we're runnin' outta coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back a-here

La la la la

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why don'tcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

[Spoken:]
... "Hey, Rosita-come quick-down at the cantina
They giving green stamps with tequila! "

La la la la la...
