Gonzo Compadres

They call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los cinco caballeros, mirado las estrellas

And they call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los gatos con queso, and we love our mommies

We live by the mountains, we live by the sea

We live by our wits, we live to be free

We never take prisoners, we take no requests

What we do mostly is what we do best

They call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los cinco caballeros, mirado las estrellas

And they call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los gatos con queso, and we love our mommies

We laugh and we cry and we sing and we dance

We fly through the air by the seat of our pants

With Captain Pendejo, tequila in hand

We fall to our knees and kiss the ground when we land

They call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los cinco caballeros, mirado las estrellas

And they call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los gatos con queso, and we love our mommies

We're brave companeros, we ride beyond fences

We take to the road, taking leave of our senses

Adios amigos, so long senoritas

Your salty tears flavor our margaritas

They call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los cinco caballeros, mirado las estrellas

And they call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres

Los gatos con queso, and we love our mommies
