A E B7 E
[Chorus]
E
You ask me if I know Manuel the bandito
B7
I know Manuel well and you know
B7
Manuel is the meanest and toughest and cruelest
E
Bandito in all Meh-ico
E
Many men die from the arms of Manuel
A
His eyes they can cut like the knife
E
You ask me if I know Manuel the bandito
B7 E
Manuel is a good friend of mine
[Verse 1]
E
Why only just yesterday, riding my burro
B7
Through the hills just off to the east
B7
Manuel he appeared like it seemed out of nowhere
E
Pointing two big pistolas at me
E
He say: "Get off the donkey and empty your pockets
A
Better you do like I said
E
Or I pull on the trigger of my two big pistolas
B7 E
Blow f*cking great hole in your head"
E
So I empty my pockets, he say: "Not enough
B7
I thin' Manuel just have some fun
B7
You, get around the back and you lift up the tail
E
And you kiss on the donkey's bum"
E
So I do and I kiss and the donkey she shit
A
In a filthy big heap on the ground
A E
He wave the pistolas he laugh and say: "Eat!"
B7 E
So I start eating donkey shit down
[Chorus]
E
You ask me if I know Manuel the bandito
B7
I know Manuel well and you know
B7
Manuel is the meanest and toughest and cruelest
E
Son-of-bitch in all Meh-ico
E
So many men die from the arms of Manuel
A
His eyes they can cut like the knife
E
You ask me if I know Manuel the bandito
B7 E
Manuel is a good friend of mine
[Verse 2]
E
But it's not just me frightened, my donkey is also
B7
This I can tell for a fact
B7
I thin' he remember one time once before
E
When I lift up his tail just like that
E
So he started kick me and he kick Manuel
A
And Manuel dropped the pistolas down
E
So I picked 'em up and I point 'em at him
B7 E
I say: "Hey, Manuel is your turn now!"
E
You get around the back and you lift up his tail
B7
And come on Manuel you kiss his arse
B7
And you eat some shit -- see I leave some for you
E
Hey, Manuel, you thin' you so smart
E
Still you ask me if I know Manuel very well
A
Well, amigo, what more can I say?
E
Would you believe that me and Manuel
B7 E
We had lunch together just yesterday!
[Chorus]
E
Yet you ask me if I know Manuel the bandito
B7
I know Manuel well now you know
B7
Manuel is the meanest and toughest and cruelest
E
Motherf*cker in all Meh-ico
E
So many men die from the arms of Manuel
A
His eyes they can cut like the knife
E
Still you ask me if I know Manuel the bandito
B7 E
Manuel is a good friend of mine
A E
But you keep asking if I know Manuel the bandito
B7 E
We had lunch together just yesterday
E
Hey--ey--ey--ey
