The Hep Stars was a Swedish rock group, formed in 1963. The group were among the most successful of 1960s Swedish pop groups. After the group's first single Kana Kapila (1964) the original keyboardist Hans Östlund left the group and was replaced by Benny Andersson, who went on to become a member of ABBA. The other members of the group included Svenne Hedlund on lead vocals, Janne Frisk on guitar, Christer Pettersson (died 2006) on drums and Lelle Hegland on bass. In the late 60s Svenne Hedlund's wife, the American singer Charlotte "Lotta" Walker (born in 1944) occasionally joined the group.

Svenne Hedlund, Charlotte Walker and Benny Andersson left the group in 1969. Svenne Hedlund and his wife Charlotte Walker formed the duo Svenne & Lotta

Spoken: It was a moonlit night in old Mexico. I walked alone between some old

adobe haciendas. Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl.

(female voice singing a series of "La-la-la's)

You better come home, Speedy Gonzales

Away from tannery row

Stop alla your a-drinkin'

With that floozie named Flo

Come on home to your adobe

And slap some mud on the wall

The roof is leakin' like a strainer

There's loadsa roaches in the hall

Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?

Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

Spoken in a male Mexican accent: Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown

for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers.

(female voice singing a series of "La-la-la's)

Your doggy's gonna have a puppy

And we're runnin' outta coke

No enchiladas in the icebox

And the television's broke

I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt

I smelled some perfume in your ear

Well if you're gonna keep on messin'

Don't bring your business back a-here

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?

Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

Spoken in a male Mexican accent: Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina

they giving green stamps with tequila!!
