lyrics

Well, me and my friend Chico, went looking for some action,
Not to put too fine a point on it,
We headed down from Houston, way down to Old El Paso,
We were known as gentlemen of taste & wit

Well you know those girls from Texas? As pretty as a picture,
When they take aim you better run the other way.
So I suggested Juarez, across the Rio Grande
Where the chiquititas' smiles will light your day.

Well we're walking down the Calle, just taking in the action,
When I see this senorita standing there
So I strike some conversation, I wanna tell her she's the one
But she just smiles and looks the other way

Now I don't speak no lingo, I'm just a simple gringo,
and Chico he can talk that Spanish way
Then Chico whispers to me, man, she just don't understand you,
This is what you’re gonna have to say

Mi chorizo esta loco
Try to understand un poco
Mi chorizo esta loco over you
Then she looks me up and down,
I see her hand come ‘round
I ask you, what’s a guy like me to do?!

When I come to I see Chico, he's laughing like a drain
He's laughing fit to bust his bony ass
So I ask him what just happened? How I'm lying on this sidewalk
Won't you tell me please how did this come to pass?

He says it’s just your lingo, you speaka too much gringo
And she can't understand you anyway
Now listen dear amigo, if you really want to reach her
This is what you're really gonna have to say

Mi corazon es loco
Try to understand un poco
Mi corazon es loco over you
Then she looks me up and down,
And her hand comes softly ‘round
I ask you, what’s a guy supposed to do?!
