Benny Hill - Jose's Cantina lyrics

rate me

When I met you, in Rosie's Cantina,

You looked so lonesome and sad.

I bought you a drink, and I said with a wink,

Maybe things won't be so bad.

You ordered... a large champagne cocktail,

Then vodka and wine from Jerome.

And as I bought it I suddenly thought it's

No wonder that you're on your own.

You took me... across town to your place,

My eagernes I could not hide.

When we reached your floor, you closed the front door,

Tell me... why did you leave me outside...?

So I went... and sang 'neath your window,

From midnight 'til turned half past three.

Oh tell me sweet lady, sweet lady pray tell me,

What was it you emptied on me...?

I hoped... when I met you Maria,

You'd be the love of my life.

I gave you my heart, but you tore it apart,

So I think I'll go back to the wife...
