If I Could Teach My Chihuahua To Sing Lyrics - Joe Ely

Oh, weary me 

I'm broke as a man can be 

My bills are all due, I got holes in my shoe 

Bill collectors, they won't let me sleep 

If I could teach my Chihuahua to sing 

I could make cash registers ring 

What a sight to behold her 

She could sit on my shoulder and whimper in harmony 

If I can teach my Chihuahua to sing 

What a wonderful world, will it would be 

I can take her to the border and teach her how to order 

Margaritas and Fajitas, Senoritas would bring 

The circus is coming to town 

The telephone lines are down 

While the tight rope they're stretchin' 

Well, my puppy is fetchin' the tin cans all scattered around 

If I could teach my Chihuahua to sing 

The whole would live in peace 

Instead of them fightin', everyone would be writin' 

Love letters to senators and police 

If I could teach my Chihuahua to sing 

What brave new world it would be 

I could take her to China, on a big jet airliner 

And bark in the park 'til the freedom bells ring 

If I could teach my Chihuahua to sing 

There'd be no more sorrow and grief 

I could take her to the border and teach her how to order 

Guacamole and Pozole and feel holy and free
