"Hot Tamales" lyrics

Hot Tamales

I went into a drive-in the other day
Saw a pretty carhop just a groove in my way
She leaned on my car
And she said, oh, so sweet
"Hi, honey, want something to eat?"

I want some hot, hot tamales
The hot tamales
Won't you give me, yeah?
Come on, come on, come on
And give me hot, hot tamales
Hot tamales, won't you give me?

And I want three enchiladas
Won't you make a real nice?
Lots of green pepper
Some Spanish spice
I want some hot, hot tamales

Well, I want
Three tostadas
And a taco to go
Some refried rehornles, baby
That ain't all, no
Six taquitos
Or what's the cost?
Why don't you top them babies off
With guacamole sauce?

I want some hot tamales
The hot tamales
Won't you give me, yeah?
Come on, come on, come on
And give me hot, hot tamales
The hot tamales
Won't you give me?

And I want three enchiladas
Won't you make a real nice?
Lots of green pepper
Some Spanish spice
I want some hot, hot tamales
"Anything else you'd like?"
Would you mind, please
Bringing me some hot sauce, baby?

And three tostadas
And a taco to go
Some refried rehornles
Baby, that ain't all, no
Six taquitos
What's the cost?
Top them off with guacamole sauce

I want some hot, hot tamales
The hot tamales
Won't you give me, yeah?
Come on, come on, come on
And bring me hot, hot tamales
The hot tamales
Won't you give me, yeah?
Hey baby
Are you going to do anything at this gig?
