Juanita
Well I'm finally gettin' used to the waterThe way the tarantulas biteThose federals didn't believeI only came here to watch the bulls fightTell my mother, "I need a good lawyer"Tell my father, "I'm getting a tan"My sleepy siesta down south of the borderIs taking more time than I plannedOh Juanita somebody betrayed meThey've given me ten years to lifeJuanita I need you to save meI promise I'll make you my wifeI got a big house in MilwaukeeWith a color TV and a poolA Naugahyde bar and a Cadillac carJuanita they're waiting for youTie the burro up down in the courtyardTo keep the guard busy tonightWhen you bring my dinner make sure the tortillaIs filled with a gun or a knifeHey Juanita somebody betrayed meLetras de cancionesThey've given me ten years to lifeJuanita I need you to save meI promise I'll make you my wifeJuanita you'll love WisconsinWisconsin is gonna love youYes, all of Milwaukee speaks SpanishOf course you're gonna wear American shoesLake Michigan tastes like tequilaFrijoles why they grow there on treesYou can say adios to the pigs and the goatsIf you'll just do this one thing for meBut Juanita somebody betrayed meThey've given me ten years to lifeJuanita I need you to save meI promise I'll make you my wifeJuanita, I, I swear it was all a mistakeYou see I was drowning out there in the oceanAnd I saw this bale coming by manSo I grabbed it and I climbed up on top of itAnd I found this stick and I rowed myself into shoreAnd when I got thereThe border patrol was waiting for meAt the I didn't know what it wasI promise you if you'll just marry meSo I can become a citizen of MexicoI'll take you to MilwaukeeYou can meet all my friendsThey got these big shiny motorcyclesAnd you can ride on the back of 'em with 'emReally, Juanita would I lie to you?
