You used to be my lover
We did it under cover 
Now its all out in the open
 
You went and told your brother 
Your brother told your mother 
Your mother told your father 
Your father beat the shit out of me 

Your father, he told me 
He never wants to see me 
Hangin' around anymore
 
He said if he found me 
He'd take me up and ground me 
And make enchiladas out of me

Velma from Selma 
Won't you please tell me what to do
 
You wanna be my lover 
We got some ground to cover 
'Cos I sure dont wanna be no enchilada

(Instrumental Break)

Now, Velma from Selma 
Won't you please tell me what to do
 
You wanna be my lover 
We got some ground to cover 
'Cos I sure dont wanna be no enchilada
