Little Gomez

(Eric Bogle)

Acappella

Well I used to have a doggy and I called him little Gomez
You see he was a Mexican Chihuahua
There's wasn't much of him but what there was all hones
He really was a randy little fella
Big dogs, small dogs, it mattered not to him
The canine equivalent of Errol Flynn
At the drop of a sombrero he'd jump up and get stuck in
Taking Gomez out for walkies was embarrassing
Taking Gomez out for walkies was embarrassing

I remember one day in the park his tally rose by four
An enviable score he was amassing
Two very patient poodles and an Irish Labrador
And a woman who just happened to be passing
I tried every way to curb his carnal appetite
I kept him on a lead all day, I locked him up at night
I even put some bromide in his chunky meaty bites
But the only thing that might have worked was kryptonite
Yes, the only thing that might have worked was kryptonite

Then came the fateful day when he tried to consummate
A liaison with a St. Bernard from Dublin
Even though he was quite clearly fighting well above his weight
He didn't let that minor detail stop him
He nearly pulled it off oh, what an acrobat
But the dog got bored and down she sat
They say that after making love you often feel quite flat
I'm sure that little Gomez would agree with that
Yes I'm sure that little Gomez would agree with that

Well I buried Gomez in the park, his happy hunting ground
A sad but fitting finale
I had to dig a grave that was rather flat and round
Cause he looked like a squashed tomali
But I really missed my wee chihuahua chum
So I went up to the pet-shop to buy another one
I went there feeling happy but I came out feeling glum
Because the man that owned the pet-shop loved corny puns
Yes the man that owned the pet-shop loved corny puns

And he said...............(To the tune of Yes We Have No Bananas)
"Yes, we have no chihuahuas, we have no chihuahuas today...ay..ay
We'll have alsatians, dalmatians, the fruits of all flirtations
An alpine pekinese in a toupee
But yes we have no chihuahuas
We have no chihuahuas today...ay...ay....mmmm"
