Girls - Enchiladas!
Dean Martin - I got, I got!
All of the town hear the song of the enchilada man
Come get around for the song of the enchilada man
And for a treat-good-eat there's nothing better than
Enchiladas, so nice and hot
Enchiladas, I got, I got
Girls - Enchiladas!
DM - So nice and hot
Enchiladas
Carmen Miranda - I got, I got!
Stay, come along, come along on the enchilada girl
Filling the air with the song of the enchilada girl
Come take a taste of the stuff that I make
Like no one can
Enchiladas, I got, I got!
DM - How do you make 'em?
CM - First you take a chili pepper
And a little spice
Throw a little salt in
DM - That's nice!
CM - Take a bit of tobasco and vinegar too
And lots of hot mustard, that's good for you
A little chili pepper stew like mad
Take a little taste now
DM - Not bad!
CM - Little more tobasco, maybe a clove
DM - A little of gasoline?
CM - Oh, that for the stove!
Enchiladas, so nice and hot
Enchiladas
Jerry Lewis - I got, I got!
My Name is Alfred and I'm in the enchilada again
I'll have you all understand I'm really quite a thing
I make a cheese if you please that spices every uh!
And for a treat like meat that is absolutely uh!
If you buy it you can try it and say it's simply uh!
Enchiladas, I don't know
Enchiladas, oh hello!
Little boy without a peso
There's no reason for your sorrow
All you have to do is say so
I will trust you till tomorrow
Enchiladas, so nice and hot
Enchiladas, I got, I got!
DM - He'll leave your living laughter
It's your happiness he's after
CM and DM - If you're happy we are happy too!
JL - I'm with you!
CM and DM - All of the town hear the song of the enchilada man
Come get along for the song of
The enchilada man
Nobody else cares the man
Like the simple way you can
JL - Enchiladas!
CM and DM - So nice and hot!
JL - Enchiladas!
CM and DM - I got, I got!
All - Enchiladas!
Enchiladas!
Enchiladas!
We got, we got!
