Original Performer:

Patti LaBelle

  
Parody Song Title:

"Gringo Basic Español"

Parody Written by:

Bob Gomez

This song makes me think of Jimmy Buffet fans for some reason.
"Hey, Mister Gómez,
You're slow, Mister! Go, Mister!
"Hey, Mister Gómez,
You're slow, Mister! Go, Mister!"

I took Spanish One at night school up the street
Thought it might be kinda sweet--
I said, "Hey, México....
I oughta give it a go!" Mmm, hmm...

Itchy get me to Tijuana!
Quickie course in habla free!
Mucho stoka like muchachas!
Gringo Basic Español....

"¡Hola! ¿Cómo está usted? ¡Muy bien!
¡Hola! ¿Cómo está usted?"

I sat in the classroom to be freshened up
Oh, boy! Got all my class notes in on time!
In a half of a week, oh, I swear I started to speak!

"Mi si sé hablar España!
Easy, check me out right here!
Molto poca like ma ganja!"
Real basic español....

"¡Hola! ¿Cómo está usted? ¡Muy bien!
¡Hola! ¿Cómo está usted?"

(Instrumental bridge--plane taking-off noises--pilot speaks--"Hola,
pasajeros--Bienvenidos--Welcome to Mexicali Airlines...Look to your left
and you will see the Rocky Mountains...To your right there is a guy who just
spilled taco sauce on his pants.....")

Hey, hey, hey...

Touching on down, hey, that landing was smooth!
Through Customs and passport's okay!
"Hand me that turista guide!
Margaritas? Five!
More! More! More!"

Now I feel so Mexicanified!
Isn't this great? What a life!
As I'm walkin' down the street
Folks smile when I speak,
"More, More, More!"

"¿Dónde Hotel La Cabaña?
¿¿Taxi centro stoppee here??
¿Moco choka lotsa ganja?
Speako basic español...."

"¿Mugre mucha leche chichas, bichass?
¿Mugre mucha leche chichas?
¿Mugre mucha leche chichas, bichass?
¿Mugre mucha leche chichas?"

Mmm, hmmm!
"¡Pinche gringo mama caca, ya!
¡Reech Americano here!
¡Loco smoko mala ganja!
¡Gringo crazy españoooooool!"

[se repite hasta el fin]

Jack W: Thanks, dude, glad you liked it. Charlie D: I assume your Spanish is a whole lot better than the character in this song. Congrats on making it into a tough course, and let me know if you need a virtual tutor. Thanks for reading. MasonR: Bring it on, man! I love the many permutations that happen with language. AKA: I think you meant "la última parte," and thanks. EmiL: glad you enjoyed it, translation is free of charge if necessary. No dictionary will fully serve. Merry: Oh, behave! d;;^)

Very impressive. You're obviously on the way to becoming a talented linguist. I couldn't pronounce about half of this but i suck at languages. all 5s

This is so clever I think Bob qualifies as a cunning linguist. I gave it Si 5's, err, 3 5's.

To quote my own "My Favorite Words":
“Cellulite,” “ephedrine,” “G-strings” and “cheddar”
“Numbnuts” and “lugnuts” and “toe-lick” and “bed her”
This cunning linguist enjoys the absurd
Wonderful marvelous world of the word!........Thanks for the comments. d;:^)

Thank you, Diva dear, and please check out my entry tomorrow. It's sort of a followup to "Clean My Room." Say hi to the Wild One for me. d;:^)
