Juanita |
| Well I’m finally gettin' used to the water the way the tarantulas bite |
| Those Federales didn’t believe I only came here to watch the bulls fight |
| Tell my mother I need a good lawyer tell my father I’m getting a tan |
| My sleepy siesta down south of the border is taking more time than I planned |
| Oh Juanity somebody betrayed me they’ve given me ten years to life |
| Juanita I need you to save me I promise I’ll make you my wife |
| I got a big house in Milwaukee with a color TV and a pool |
| A Naugahyde bar and a Cadillac car Juanita they’re waiting for you |
| Tie the burro up down in the courtyard to keep the guard busy tonight |
| When you bring my dinner make sure the tortilla is filled with a gun or a knife |
| Juanity somebody betrayed me… |
| Juanita you’ll love Wisconsin Wisconsin is gonna love you |
| Yes all of Milwaukee speaks Spanish |
| Of course you’re gonna wear American shoes |
| Lake Michigan tastes like tequila frijoles why they grow there on trees |
| You can say adios to the pigs and the goats if you’ll just do this one thing |
| for me |
| But Juanity somebody betrayed me… |
| Juanita I swear it was all a mistake |
| You see I was drowning out there in the ocean and I saw this bale coming by |
| Man so I grabbed it and I climbed up on top of it |
| And I found this stick and I rowed myself into shore |
| And when I got there the Border Patrol was waiting for me |
| At the I didn’t know what it was |
| I promise you if you’ll just marry me so I can become a citizen of Mexico |
| I’ll take you to Milwaukee you can meet all my friends |
| They got these big shiny motorcycles |
| And you can ride on the back of 'em with 'em really Juanita would I lie to you |
