Speedy Gonzales Single released by Pat Boone in 1962, reached number 2 in UK Tab by bass50611. This is how I would play it on stage and more or Less as the original upright bass line.

I walked alone between some old Adobe haciendas. Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl. 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 Speedy Gonzales, why don'tcha come home? Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone? Spoken in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown For my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers. " 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 Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why don'tcha come home? Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone? Spoken in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina They giving green stamps with tequila!! "
