In Baya California

Down in Tijuana

La senorita come to me

She say "Mi nombre es La Jaunda"

I asked her would she care to dance

She looked at me and said "Como esta?"

I say "Hablo solo en Ingles

Y no comprendo Espanol"

I speak only the language of English

I don't understand Espanol



For a moment I took a notion

Then I went into a dancing motion

She nodded her head

"Yo mucho gusto" she said

And she danced with more devotion

When her cheek came close to mine

I could hear her softly whisper

She said "Habla solo la langua de Ingles

Y no comprenda Espanol"

I speak only the language of English

I don't understand Espanol



She placed her hand before my heart

And she whispered "Yo te amora"

With half - closed eyes

She raised her lips

And she said "Besame ahora"

She hold me close and she squeeze me tight

And she whispered " Yo quiero ahora"

I say "Hablo solo la langua de Ingles

No comprendo Espanol"

I speak only the language of English

I don't understand Espanol
