Lyrics
Well, I’m finally getting’ 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 takin’ more time than I planned.

Chorus:
Juanita somebody betrayed me
They’re givin’ me then years to life
Juanita, I need you to save me
I promise I’ll make you my wife.

I’ve got a big house in Milwaukee
With the colored TV and the pool
A naugahyde bar and a Cadillac car
Juanita, they’re waitin’ for you.
Tie the burro up down in the courtyard
Keep the guard busy tonight
When you bring my dinner, make sure the tortilla
Is filled with a gun or a knife
La La etc.

Chorus

Juanita, you’ll love Wisconsin
Wisconsin is gonna love you.
All of Milwaukee speaks Spanish
You’ll wear American shoes
Lake Michigan tastes like tequila
Frijoles they grow on the trees
You can say “adios” to the pigs and the goats
If you’ll just do this one thing for me

Chorus
