I went into a drive-in the other day
Saw a pretty gal, 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 tamales, 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? (hot tamales)
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
Yeah, I want three Tournedós and a tacos-to-go
Some refried, rehornles, baby, that ain't home, no
Six taquitos or what's the cost?
Why don't you top them babies off with guacamole sauce?

I got to hide, I got to hide
