Little Gomez  
(Eric Bogle)

Well, I used to have a doggie and I called him little Gomez
Because he was a Mexican Chihuahua
Though there wasn't much to him but what there was all cojones
In fact he was a randy little fella
Big dogs, small dogs were all the same 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 embarassin'
Taking Gomez out for walkies was embarassin'

I remember one day in the park his tally rose by four
An enviable score he was amassing,
Two high strung french poodles and a golden Labrador
And a woman who just happened to be passing
I tried every way to curb his carnal appetite
I kept him on a leash by day, I locked him up at night
I even put salt peter in his doggy meaty bites
But the only thing that might have worked was Kryptonite
But the only thing that might have worked was Kryptonite

Then came the fatal day when he tried to consummate
A liaison with a Saint Bernard called Broadwin
And although 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 Broadwin 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
I'm sure that little Gomez would agree with that

So I buried Gomez in the park,
His happy hunting ground a sad but fitting finale
Though I had to make a grave that was very flat and round
'Cause he looked like squashed tamale
But I really missed my wee Chihuahua chum
I went down to the pet shop to find another one
I went there feeling happy, but I left there feeling glum
Because the man down at the pet shop loved corny puns
Because the man down at the pet shop loved corny puns

And he said "Yes, we have no Chihuahuas
We have no Chihuahuas today
We have Alsatians, Dalmatians, the fruits of all flirtations,
An alpine Pekinese and a Sharpe
But yes, we have no Chihuahuas
We have no Chihuahuas today"
