Oh Elena!

Left Cantina Poco late last night
So drunk I could barely see
Dos senoritas were on my arms
Elena, she was looking at me
If looks could kill I'd be there still
Elena used to be my only thrill
Now I'm married happily
To the sporting singularity

Chorus
Oh, Elena, The time has come for me to say
Oh, Elena, Never thought our love would end this way

The bright nights of Olvera Street
Blinded me to your light
Dark-eyed temptation came to me
On a hot Tijuana night
"Viva Las Vegas" was on TV
By morning light it occured to me
That I was mired helplessly
In the sporting singularity

Chorus
(Oh, Elena, can't you see?)
(What your love has done to me?)

Bridge

A brown-eyed vision came to me last night
It's just a little misunderstanding
Oh, Elena, teach me right

Now if I had it all to do again
A few things I would change
I'd try to be more simpatico
To Elena and her loyal ways
If a girl like you can still be true
To a chico pendejo who breaks all the rules
Then I would give up hopefully
The sporting singularity

Chorus
