{ E }                                                        
You ask me if I know Manuel the bandito  
                                            { B7 } 
I know Manuel well and you know  
  
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  
  
 
E {  
Why only just yesterday, riding my burro  
                                                  { B7 } 
Through the hills just off to the east  
  
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 fucking great hole in your head"  
  
{ E } 
So I empty my pockets, he say: "Not enough  
                                             { B7 } 
I thin' Manuel just have some fun  
  
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  
                                                          { E } 
He wave the pistolas he laugh and say: "Eat!"  
               { B7 }                       { E } 
So I start eating donkey shit down  
  
 
Chorus  
You ask me if I know Manuel the bandito  
I know Manuel well and you know  
Manuel is the meanest and toughest and cruelest  
Son-of-bitch in all Meh-ico  
  
 
So many men die from the arms of Manuel  
His eyes they can cut like the knife  
You ask me if I know Manuel the bandito  
Manuel is a good friend of mine  
  
 
{ E } 
But it's not just me frightened, my donkey is also  
                               { B7 
This I can tell for a fact  
  
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  
  
So I picked 'em up and I point 'em at him  
                                                   { 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  
  
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!
