and the Nightcats

I Can't Speak No Spanish (Estrin)

I got the sweetest senorita

Found down in Mexico

Been waitin' all my life to meet

She's got what I been lookin' for

Got eyes that shine like diamonds

Got hair that's black as coal

Man, she don't speak no English

And me no hablo Espanol

Ayyyy-yi-yi-yi

Can't speak no Spanish

Down in a bordertown canteen

From across the crowded floor

That was the first time that I seen her

The sweetest thing in Mexico

I made over to her table

Got up the nerve to say hello

I asked her, "Do you come here often?"

She said, "Tequila, por favor."

Ayyyy-yi-yi-yi

Can't speak no Spanish

(harmonica solo)

Man, this ain't no game we're playin'

Me and baby set a date

Can't understand a word she's sayin'

But we can sure communicate

We don't never fuss or argue

It don't take no self control

Cause she don't speak no English

And me no hablo Espanol

Ayyyy-yi-yi-yi

Can't speak no Spanish
