Elvis
Perez de
Mariachi from the land of the
Guarachi
He's the rage in
Mexico
With his cyprinth and his curls
He drives crazy all the girls
When he sings this rock and roll
You eat nothing but a hot dog
With mustard all the time
You eat nothing but a hot dog
With mustard all the time
You ain't never ate a taco and
you ain't no amigo of mine.
When you said you liked chili,
that was just a line.
When you said you liked chili,
well that was just a line.
You ain't never had no chili and
you ain't no amigo of mine.
Once he used to sing the folk song
Rancho
Grande
La
Paloma, now he don't do
that no more.
Now when he plays the guitarra,
he won't sing
Guadalajara, all he sings is rock and roll.
You know I can be found lying all alone.
If it is fiesta time, then please don't telephone,
don't be cruel, don't wake me up until two.
I can't stand getting up until this fiesta's over,
cross my heart.
Yes, amigo,
Elvis
Perez, now he have a lot of letters
in the change to rock and roll.
He has bought him seven burros,
one for each day of the week.
Every one a different color,
they are low and long and sleek.
And this is the way he sing.
Dent my fender, tear my seat, on my
Cadillac
Take my hobcaps if you want,
never bring them back
Wreck my hood and wreck my
top, do any of these things
Do whatever else you want
But please don't wreck my scene
Yes, amigo,
Elvis
Perez
He received ten thousand
letters from his fans in
Mexico
And his records, says
Maria, are selling like hot tortillas
Since he changed to rock
and roll
Viva el rock 'n 'roll!
