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:
La la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la
la la la la.
You better come home Speedy Gonzales, away from tannery row.
Stop all of your drinking with that floosie named Flo!
Come on home to your adobe and slap some mud on the wall!
The roof is leaking like a strainer. There's loads of roaches in the
hall.
(La la la la)
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), how come you leave me all alone?
"He, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown for my mother,
she needs some Tortillias and Chilli Pepper!"
La, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
la la.
Your doggie's gonna have a puppy, and we're running 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 on messin', don't bring your business back
a-here.
(La la la la)
Mmm, Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales), how come you leave me all alone?
"He, Rosita, come quick!
Down at the cantina, they're giving green stamps with Tequila!"
La, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la
la la la la la.
Dum Diddly-Hi-Dee Dum Diddly-Aye, where can you hide away?
Dum Diddly-Hi-Dee Dum Diddly-Aye, where can you hide away?
1. The world is getting smaller, the population grows,
Where, Oh where can sweethearts go when they want to be alone?
Out to the park we went walking to a quiet spot by the lake,
We found some kids playing cowboy there and they wouldn't go away -
So no romance that day
Chorus
2. We thought that we had the answer - a drive-in movie we planned
But the only place we could find to park was next to the pizza stand -
And that's a busy stand....
Chorus
3. The world is getting smaller, the population grows,
Where, Oh where can sweethearts go when they want to steal a kiss?
To Lovers' Lane we went driving, when we parked, what did I find?
My own kid sister was in the car that was parked by next to mine -
And love withered down the line......
Chorus
Where can you hide away?
Where can you hide away?
Where can you hide away? (fade out)
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello"
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
Well, you don't know me no
No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you each night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
No you don't know me
I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you, yeah
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye"
And I watched you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so
No you don't know me
But I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
I'm afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye"
And I watched you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so
No you don't know me
I say you never ever know
The one who loved you so
No you don't know me
No you don't love me
In the Spring of my life, she came to me.
She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown.
Then I took her for my wife, in the spring of my life
and she brought me a joy I never known.
And the years, they went by in the spring of my life.
And in summer, she blessed me with a child.
Love continued to grow, in the summer of my life
and in every morning sun I saw her smile.
But in the autumn of my years, I noticed the tears
and I knew our life was in the past.
Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end.
For the autumn of my life had come at last.
Now what, what do you say to a child of ten?
How do you tell him his daddy's going away?
Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life
and that he'll understand some winter's day?
Now the rose can't be found on a snow covered ground.
and the Sun can not shine through cloudy skys.
But I'm richer you see for the years she gave to me
and I'm content in the autumn of my life.
At the end of a rainbow, you'll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story, you'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure our hearts always spend
And it has a story without any end
At the end of a river, the water stops its flow
At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go
But just tell me you love and you are only mine
And our love will go on 'til the end of time
At the end of a river, the water stops its flow
At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go
But just tell me you love and you are only mine
And our love will go on 'til the e-end of time
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
THEN I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Dance dance on little girl
In the arms of someone new
As you dance as you twirl
My heart dances with you
Dance dance on little girl
But tell me, what I've done wrong?
Why should he hold you tight
While they're playing our song?
I am watching you
Oh! No, no it cannot be
While I'm watching you
I'm wishing hoping it for me
Dance dance on little girl
Tell me why did we part?
Dance dance on little girl
Dance out of my heart
I am watching you
No, no it cannot be
While I'm watching you
I'm wishing hoping it for me
Dance dance on little girl
Tell me why did we part?
Dance dance on little girl
Dance out of my heart
Oh! Look at you, there you go go go
Oh! Yes you know, that you're wrong wrong wrong
Because you know you gone gone gone
Yes you know that you gone gone gone, right out of my heart
Anna, you come and ask me girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me
So I will set you free
Go with him
(Anna)
Go with him
(Anna)
Anna, girl, before you go now
I want you to know now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you more
Go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
Oh, now
But every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Anna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free
Go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
But let me tell you now
But every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Anna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free
Go with him
(Anna)
Go with him
(Anna)
You can go with him girl
(Anna)
Go with him
Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
She took it off her finger, now it doesn't mean a thing
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before
So if you've got someone whose love is true, let it shine for you
This stone is genuine like love should be
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did if there's love behind it
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can be dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did if there's love behind it
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before
So if you've got someone whose love is true, let it shine for you
